Harman 35mm Film Camera - Reloadable

Good film camera for beginners, perfect for throwing in your bag and bringing anywhere. Although limited features in terms of exposure etc but also this can be part of the appeal

I was excited to try this reusable. The photos using the included kentmere film came back from developers and are very spooky, great for Halloween/ Autumn shoots although the picture isn’t very clear. Very lightweight camera but for travelling but unfortunately the flash is now broken and the photos will come out very dark without it.

...here's a selection from my first use of Kentmere 400 in the Harman camera.
I'm impressed with the film - grain is OK for a 400ASA emulsion and it's 'scanner friendly' - no curling !
The film was dev'd in Rodinal at 1+25 for 7.5 minutes and minimal post-processing with PhotoScape X

This camera is not too bad considering the price. You pay for what you get for, so the the image quality is not very sharp, but it’s a good camera for someone to get into film or just to keep in your jacket pocket.

I wish the camera came with a lens cap of some description. The film is very easy to load, however it feels like you're gonna break the film when rewinding, so be VERY gentle.

Flash works relatively good at night too.

All in all, pretty decent for £30 and 2 rolls of film.

I'm torn over this camera. Optically it's one element lens is surprisingly good and better than any disposable I've used and the new Yashica MF-1 but the camera otherwise is a bit dull looking and winding/rewinding it is bloody scary. To say it is tight is an under statement - think buttock clutching worry that either the camera is gonna explode or the film will snap. I had to break out the cutlery to depress the rewind button (and that's no joke).

Optically images are a little soft but better than any disposable I've used. it even manages the trick of being okay at distances (slightly softer) which most disposable class cameras suck at.
Sample shots on XP2 not the boxed Kentmere.
