Chinon 35F-EE 35mm point & shoot film camera with 38mm f2.8 lens
Description:
We like the 35F-EE for being a well-specified and very practical compact from 1978 that rewards a bit of attention. The 38mm f2.8 Chinonex Color lens is sharp and well-corrected, and one of the more thoughtful design details is that the CdS meter cell sits inside the filter thread, meaning it automatically compensates for any filter you screw on without needing to adjust the film speed dial. The viewfinder is notably informative for a camera of this class, displaying both the automatically selected aperture and your chosen focus zone on needle scales, so you always know exactly what the camera is doing. Scale focus is quick to learn, the built-in flash covers indoor and low-light situations, and a self-timer is included. A compact, honest, and capable camera for everyday shooting.

- Maximum Shutter Speed: 1/250s
- Lens: 38mm f2.8 Chinonex Color, 4 elements in 3 groups, scale focus to 1m
