Colorsnap 35, first model

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. Fitting for screw-and pin flash is provided on the users left.

There were two models:

• the first made from July 1959-January 1964, 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, with a flat top plate 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.
