A standard 135 film cartridge does not simply fit inside. For planned photographic use, you should therefore first determine a concrete way to obtain suitable film and have it developed. The Instamatic model designation here does not mean a digital recording system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMore control than the name suggests\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou set the distance and shutter speed yourself. The exposure indicator helps with matching the aperture; the camera is therefore not a fully automatic focusing snapshot camera. The shutter offers speeds up to 1\/500 second. You consciously decide how to combine subject movement and available light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eXenar with extension mechanism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe permanently built-in Xenar has a 38 mm focal length and an aperture of f\/2.8. To take a photo, the lens is placed in the shooting position. Since the 126 image format is different from 24 × 36 mm full-frame, the focal length should not be equated with a full-frame camera without considering the format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eViewfinder and distance belong together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe distance is set on the lens. The viewfinder shows the image frame and has close-up markings for parallax correction. After each shot, you advance the film via the lever. For the purchasing decision, the special film system and the willingness to operate manually are therefore particularly decisive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDecide on the film system first\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Instamatic 500 is particularly interesting if you want to use the 126 cartridge system and its historical operation. The manual control over time and distance distinguishes it from very simple Instamatic versions. However, for an uncomplicated new film project, the concrete processing path is crucial. This practical question should be clarified before the lens data or the shutter speed make the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kodak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Instamatic 500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rangefinder camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScope of delivery and image note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe product mentioned in the title is delivered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFurther accessories are only included if they are expressly mentioned in the title as part of the offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe product images shown serve as an example.
