p.3 #1Cr@p camera settings challenge
There's a lot to like about the EZ35 and a couple of things that are just strange. The viewfinder is good, even with my bad vision. It has a ready light for the flash and the shutter release is light but not touchy. The lens cover/mode switch on the front is easy to use and clicks into position. Loaded properly, you can get 40 images on a roll.
The odd stuff is a few things are upside down from other cameras. The positive terminal on the single AA battery is inserted towards the bottom of the camera. The film loads on the right, feeds to the left and I had to rotate every image to get proper orientation. Loading it is easy but the first time it didn't sound right so I opened the back and lost a few frames. Draw it across, get the leader under the roller, make sure the film is taut enough for the sprocket holes to engage the advance gear, close it up, open the lens cover and push the shutter release twice. Make sure to close the lens cover when you're done! My wife set hers aside with the flash on and it drained the battery in a couple of days.
At seventeen bucks, it's a bargain but not for the going rate of $39.95. Not nearly as much barrel distortion or other aberrations but I wasn't expecting 35 Summicron performance.
The XT-3 is great to work with. It's the best developer I've used since my original bottle of HC-110 ran out. I'm glad to have stuck with it and had some help of how to use it. Wish I had tried some different tone profiles in NLP before posting the first batch. In addition to working with the new Sony, I'm learning more about both NLP and Lightroom with every new batch of film. I still have the fourth roll from Saturday to scan but may not get to it till tomorrow. Considering everything I posted was a straight conversion, it shows the little Harman is capable of producing decent images and if dies after a dozen rolls, I have easily gotten my money's worth out of it.

This is the fourth roll from the Harman EZ35 and it has benefitted from what I learned from the previous scans.
Harman EZ35, Tri-X, Adox XT-3 1:1, NLP Lab Standard tone profile:
It was a fun project and the Harman was fun to use, worth every bit of $17!
Even with opening the back when loading the first two rolls, there were a total of 151 exposures for four rolls and only three images that were too dark to be salvageable.

Well, I did the challenge. And then I left it in developer for too long. Didn't pay attention to the timer lololololoollllll. Half the roll looks near bulletproof. I'll scan in the morning but man I'm scared of what's going to come out.

Well, here we go. These are straight out of the scanner and then rotated. Figured you would prefer to look at these right side up.
These are out of a Nikon FM2, Zeiss 2/28 ZF.2, HP5+, accidentally pushed about a half stop or perhaps a bit more in D76 1+1. Most of these worked out well.

Looks good! Don't forget to flip the orientation next time. Although, it does add a bit more of the cr@p camera feel to the images.

Cr@p camera settings rule!
I am now in possession of the Harman EZ35 cr@p camera and will soon shoot and post those.
In the mean time I will post pics from my Reto UltraWide n Slim once I scan them.

Yeah I thought about flipping it and was like nah, cr@p camera vibe all the way. Truth be told I seriously considered uploading them upside down too.
Also note that my last frame above was done pointing into the sun, as an attempt to provoke lens flare, glare, flyaway hair. I'll try to reproduce that frame with the Harman EZ when it gets to me. I don't think it's going to look at all the same.
