Ilford HP5 PLUS Disposable Camera with Flash

Product Information

The speed of a film determines the sensitivity of a camera to light or ISO. Films with a lower ISO will be slower, which will result in darker images. Contrary to this, higher ISO values produce images with faster film speeds and more brightness. Fast film increases image noise, so there is a trade-off here. In general, disposable cameras have ISO values of 400 or 800, suitable for daylight and sunset photography. If you plan to take pictures outdoors during the day, choose a camera with a lower ISO. When taking photos in the dark, it is best to use an ISO of 800 or 1,600. Waterproof

My favorite Denver alleyway — next to the Rialto Cafe on 16th Street Mall — is a super high-contrast scene with the R60 filter. But imagine those highlights without it. (Daniel J.

Given the published specs, I realized that on a bright, sunny day, the camera would likely be overexposing by three to four stops. So I added a Nikon R60 red filter (a filter factor of 8, which should reduce light by three stops) to the front with a special adapter made from gaffer tape and wishful thinking. The Paramount Theater sign in Denver. You can see the red filter in full effect with the darkened skies and high-contrast clouds. (Daniel J. Schneider) The “flap” on the bottom connects all three pieces of the shell together, so you’ll have to pry it twice to un-snap the front, and then the center, housing portions. Once the clear face is removed, the battery is hidden behind the flap and can be pried out with a small screwdriver.Whether you're searching for 'disposable cameras' as a quality investment for your photography passion, a creative outlet, or a fun tool to introduce your kids to the joy of capturing moments, Wilkinson Cameras has got you covered.

We were excited to shoot with the new Kassha disposable camera loaded with 27 exposure Japan Camera Hunter StreetPan 400 film . This film is known for its’ contrast and punchy tones that can look really good when properly exposed which is the major flaw with this camera… This camera has a fixed aperture of f/9 with a shutter around 125th of second which would be fine for daylight shooting but since this film seems to be darker/needs to be overexposed it produced many dark images. Even with the flash, it produced dark images on occasion. And on top of that, its 31mm lens doesn’t have a wide depth of field which produces blurry images from roughly 15ft to infinity ( fixed focus 31mm lens). It’s the sweet spot for focus and its fast is 3-5 feet. If you’re looking to shoot a B&W disposable camera, we recommend the Ilford & Lomography cameras over this one. We’ve included some images below that show the good and the bad.
