Vintage Cameras - Kodak Instamatic X-35The Kodak Instamatic X-35 is a plastic viewfinder camera designed to take Kodak’s then-popular 126 cartridge film. It’s got a 41mm f/8 Kodar lens with two focus zones: two to six feet and six feet to infinity. The shutter has two speeds: 1/90 and 1/45 for flash photography.Like many cameras of this era, the X-35 has no integrated flash and must rely on top-mounted flash cubes: plastic rotating cubes that have four single-use zirconium foil flash bulbs good for four exposures. Other interesting features include a recessed film advance lever and side-mounted shutter button.PLEASE NOTE: This camera has not been tested and we are selling in as found condition. When it was released, the retail price of the X-35 was $48 (about $280 in today’s money) which puts it roughly on par with today’s compact digital camera market. An awesome gift or an essential add to a collection.
