Y así transcurrió el #25dic Día de #Navidad con mi nieta más pequeña y mi hija mayor... Lamentablemente no alcanzó el rollo de 35 mm para las fotos con los otros nietos y resto de la familia #jajaja que molleja recordando mi cámara #Kodak35 En realidad hubo falla de dispositivo electrónico y las imágenes salieron borrosas... De todos modos la #Navidad2022 llegará pronto y se corregirán los detalles... Después de cumplir 40 años el tiempo pasa volando... Feliz Navidad para todos mis amigos personales y seguidores de las cuentas @unmaracuchoenphiladelphia @mararitmo900 @unmaracuchoennj #FelizNavidad #venezolanosporelmundo #navidad2021 #zulianosporelmundo #maracuchosenmiami #maracuchosenchile #maracaibo #venezolanosenmexico #maracuchosporelmundo #maracuchosenorlando #venezolanosenhouston #Venezolanosenperu #venezolanosenusa #maracuchosenusa #maracuchosencolombia #venezolanosenbogota #maracuchosenelmundo #venezolanosensantiago #zulianos #venezolanosenutah #maracuchosenpanama #venezolanososenargentina https://www.instagram.com/p/CX8vsWQFKMs/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the Kodak 35. Since seeing the military version of this camera produced for the second world war between 1942-45 (civil production of this camera was ceased during this time), I wanted to try and get my hands on the civilian version as a way to experience the same view/image creation as someone in the field during WW2. The camera was introduced in 1938 and after 1945 civil production did continue until 1949. There were a number of different shutter/lens combinations and it seems this model was produced either in 1946-47. It is fairly simple to use, but using a camera of this age does come with the lack of ergonomic design or helpful features. It is built like a tank, and is a fair weight when handling it. One major problem I found was rewinding the film shredded my hands as it was so stiff. Maybe if this camera had a CLA or service this would be smoother.

I’m also a big fan for the aesthetics of this camera. It is compact with the lens taking the centre place of the design. The symmetry of the film advance and rewind knobs are also quite pleasing. I am a big fan of the viewfinder, which added as another centre point to the symmetrical design and the typeface used just looks cool imo. Something else that struck me about this camera is the care of how it was made. This was a fairly cheap camera and is only worth about £15 today, but the care and attention of the engraved labels and even the ‘made in the USA’ label is engraved and attached as a separate piece of metal. Like a lot of people, the craftsmanship and build quality in analogue cameras is what has drawn me to camera collecting and using analogue cameras as a daily tool. With automated production and high production volumes, getting this level of care and precision has almost vanished from the modern camera market and you have to pay BIG money for the likes of a new Leica MP if you want to experience it now.

Found this wonderful Kodak 35 and the range finder yesterday. Shutter sounds good, optics need a cleaning. #filmcameras #camerastyle #ishootfilm #kodak35 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qpACdH8Po/?igshid=k8zkmutr3vqu
