The Kodak Colorsnap 35 - largely a 35mm version of the Bantam Colorsnap, was made in the UK by Kodak Ltd. The 43.9mm f3.9 Anaston lens is set in a single-speed shutter, with aperture scale marked in weather symbols and EV numbers. The underside of the lens barrel is marked with the film speed scale. Fitting for screw-and pin flash is provided on the users left. There is a frame counter disc on the top right, which needs to be manually reset on loading.

There were two models:

  • the first made from July 1959-January 1964[1], with a top plate step around the rewind knob; the shutter release on the edge of the top plate is pressed backwards (rather than the usual downwards);
  • the second, March 1964-November 1967[1], with a flat top plate, flush nameplate and recessed/pop-up rewind knob (with a film reminder on top); the shutter release is now purely on the front.

The Auto Colorsnap 35 (1962-64) is an auto-exposure version, styled as a combination of the first Colorsnap 35 and the Kodak Autosnap.
