The Kodak EC35 Makes 35 mm Film Photography More Accessible for Beginners
The Kodak EC35 is a compact point-and-shoot film camera developed by Reto under the Kodak brand with a simplified feature set aimed at first-time analog photographers. Designed to be as approachable as a disposable camera, it features a 25 mm f/10 fixed-focus lens, a fixed 1/100-second shutter speed, and a built-in flash powered by a single AA battery. A sliding lens cover also functions as a shutter lock, helping protect the camera while preventing accidental exposures during transport.
The camera is available in seven color options: Midnight Black, Vanilla White, Butter Yellow, Lavender, Powder Blue, Blush Pink, and Avocado. Positioned below Reto's Kodak Snapic A1 and EKTAR H35 in price, the EC35 expands the brand's entry-level analog lineup with a lightweight, pocket-sized design. Retailing for approximately $35, it is also offered in a bundle that includes a roll of Kodak Ultramax 400 film for an additional $10.
