Kodak Advantix T40 camera, some more

Some more photos from the Kodak Advantix T40 camera, There is only one aperture and one shutter speed, so the camera needs fairly good light or flash for close objects.

Canon Prima Zoom 80, good as you'd expect

The Canon Prima zoom 80 is a nice featured point and shoot camera. It has all Canon has to offer, good quality, many features but not extreme specifications. The zoom lens starts from 38mm, not very wide, and goes to 80mm. Aperture is not very wide either, it starts at f5.6 I think.
There are features to turn the flash on and off, programmed modes, like sports, portrait and macro, a self timer, etc.



 I expect good quality results with a Canon camera, and this one is not an exception.

Here are some results, mostly at the wide end, the shutter is so smooth and quiet...

Kodak Advantix T40, simple and stylish

A very simple but stylish camera. The Kodak Advantix T40 needs no focusing and has only one aperture / shutter speed combination. It can only be used in bright sunshine or in the dark with flash. The flash pops up automatically and cannot be switched off. But if you don't want fash you can press it with your thumb back in the camera, Takes APS film, and the lens is a 35mm equivalent.
However the camera is small and can be used for family snapshots.


Her are some samples. It seemed the lens was dirty and some pictures are not sharp in the center. The Camera takes sharp and contrasty pictures.

The Olympus M-2N is a great camera, small, easy to use with accurate lightmeter. The Zuiko 50mm / f1,4 is a sharp and luminous lens.

Agfamatic 2008 pocket sensor, 110 film camera.

The Agfamatic 2008 pocket sensor is a 110 cartridge film pocket camera made by Agfa. There is a selector with Sun & Cloud weather symbols that selects between 1/100 and 1/50s shutter speeds. Aperture must be an f11, no focusing is required. As all of the pocket Agfamatics it has the push-pull film advance, meaning that closing and opening again the camera once after an exposure causes the film to advance to the next image frame.


I have to find a 110 film and test it in a bright day...
