[[Kodak]]'s '''VR35-Series''' was a line of [[35mm]] [[point-and-shoot]] cameras, introduced in 1986, marking Kodak's return to making 35mm cameras after a 17 year gap. The range continued until 1993. They had varying degrees of sophistication, ranging from the basic  [[fixed focus]] models, with one [[aperture]], no built-in flash and manual wind, to models with [[film advance|motor drive]], programmed auto exposure and [[autofocus]]. Manufacturing sites included Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Taiwan.
