These days, my social media feed is populated with 35mm photos taken on the likes of the Kodak Ultra F9, and nearly all of my friends own either a disposable or a reusable film camera. The resurgence of film photography has seen film cameras come back into frame, and I got the chance to test the Ultra F9. My verdict? I’ll be holding on to it for a long time as it’s one of the best cheap cameras around.
The Ultra F9 is a 35mm film format camera that’s extremely easy to use and affordable. Not only is the camera itself inexpensive, costing just $49, but so is 35mm film. The camera’s ease of use makes it foolproof so it can be used by anyone, and its lightweight and compact body make it great to travel with. However, it comes with a few quirks.
