We're On A Roll

This afternoon I ordered a Kodak Ektar H35, which is a half-frame 35mm point and shoot camera.

The one I ordered is "Sage Green." 

 

It should be here in a couple of days. I plan to take it around on a nice day in the next week or two and also take it on a short vacation to Lake Michigan in August. 

Anyway, it will be an interesting thing to use. Since it uses half the frame, I can get ~72 pictures from a 36 exposure roll of film, which sounds both good and frustrating, since I often struggle with a roll of 36 in one go. 

The other thing about half frame means the pictures are the opposite way. If you hold the camera the standard way, the pictures are in portrait format as opposed to the standard landscape format, so that will require some re-thinking about how I frame everything.
