RelicDescription
The Kodak Disc 3500 served as an intermediate model in the initial launch of the Disc film system, featuring a gold-toned aluminum faceplate that distinguished it from the base-level 3100 and higher-end 4000 series. Technically, the camera utilized a fixed-focus four-element glass lens and an integrated electronic flash with a rapid recycle time of approximately 1.3 seconds. Like its counterparts, it relied on a permanent internal lithium battery to power the motorized film advance and light metering systems, which historically rendered the hardware inoperable once the cell's decade-long lifespan expired. The format prioritized mechanical ease and pocketability, utilizing a sliding lens cover that functioned as the primary power switch. While it represented the peak of early 1980s miniaturization, the 3500 is now a non-functional historical artifact due to the total cessation of Disc film production and the depletion of its internal power sources.Category
