A wonderfully straightforward 35mm point-and-shoot that combines autofocus, automatic exposure, motorized film transport, and built-in flash in a distinctive late-1980s Kodak design.
The Kodak S500AF was made for photographers who want the pleasure of shooting film without managing a collection of settings. Its fixed Kodak Ektanar 35mm f/3.5 lens offers a versatile everyday perspective for travel, gatherings, street scenes, casual portraits, and the small moments worth carrying a camera for.
Autofocus and automatic exposure take care of the essential decisions, while powered film advance and rewind keep the experience simple from the first frame to the last. A sliding front cover protects the lens when the camera is stored and helps prevent accidental exposures. The built-in flash provides additional light for indoor photographs and lower-light situations. The camera is powered by two AA batteries.
Condition
This Kodak S500AF is in Fair to Good condition, with visible wear consistent with regular use.
The body shows numerous scratches, scuffs, rub marks, and areas of finish wear across the front panel, grip, sliding lens cover, and body edges. The printed Kodak branding is partially worn, and additional light marks are visible throughout the exterior.
The sliding cover, flash window, grip, shutter button, exterior panels, and attached wrist strap appear intact in the photograph. This is a well-used photographer’s camera rather than a collector-grade example.
Please review all photographs closely, as they show the actual camera being offered and form an important part of the condition description.
The Looking Glass Take
The Kodak S500AF is all about making film photography easy. Load a roll, open the cover, frame the photograph, and let the camera handle focus, exposure, flash, and film transport.
Its 35mm lens is an especially useful everyday focal length—wide enough to include the setting while still feeling natural for people and spontaneous moments. It is the kind of camera that can live in a day bag, come along on a trip, or sit ready for nights out with friends.
This example has plenty of honest exterior wear, which makes it a good fit for someone looking for a compact film camera to carry and enjoy without worrying about keeping it pristine.
