Kodak Black & White Single Use Camera

Average rating: Stars

Fantastic results from a camera that costs <$10

Lets start this off by saying this is a sub $10 disposable camera.

It has no zoom or special features apart from the flash.

These were meant to be quick and easy to use with little fuss. And in that capacity they work really really well. I have a 35mm point and shoot zoom, a high end Sony digital and a mid range Sony camcorder but I always make sure I have one of these handy.

These are way faster and easier to use than either my digital or my 35mm. I get quick shots that I could never capture on any other camera because they simply take too long to turn on and/or set up.

As for picture quality I am more than pleased with the output. Remember the person developing your photos has as much control over how they turn out as you did in taking the picture. So it is important to use a developing service that you like and trust. That said, this little camera is capable of taking some terrific shots provided you shoot within the limitations of the lens and film.

The small lens means you will need to be fairly close to your subject to get good detail. Also, the B&W film is a slower ASA so you will generally need more light than you may be used to with color film. I find the camera works best using the flash on most all pictures I take unless you are in direct sunlight. B&W pictures are worth the effort as they have a distinct feel and warmpth that color film dosent easily capture.

Again, due to the small lens you cant expect a lot of depth in your photos but the clarity is on par with my Canon point and shoot.

Either way at this price you can't go wrong buying this camera.

Pros:
Price
Ease of use
Speed of use
Kodak film quality

Cons:
Limited depth of field

eeeeekk awful!!!

I was quite taken by the look of the Camera. Very Compact, Professional looking (almost real) to previous "Cardboard Box" Disposable Camera's Kodak have brought out in the late 80's early 90's.
When I got the Photos developed they just looked Average, not much Depth in each shot, almost like they were overexposed. Not "true" B&W Pics. I've taken many B&W Photos before with a proper Camera using Ilford B & W Film. The Photo's were just so-so. I don't know about this whole Ektanar Lens stuff either, the Photos produced were no clearer than any other One time use Camera. I probably shouldn't expect so much from a Single Use Camera.
