Looking to Buy Plastic Reloadable 35mm Cameras in Bulk

[Dan Rainer]

I'm getting married this fall and we're doing a non-traditional ceremony/reception in our backyard. I would love to have bunch of simple-use, plastic 35mm cameras floating around for guests to be taking snapshots throughout the evening. Does anyone have a line on a reliable/affordable option that can be purchase in bulk?

I would load them with HP5+ and process the film myself later on. They would need to have a built-in flash.

I'm currently looking at the Kodak M35, but I'm open to other options.

I doubt you'll find anything that's a better match to your criteria.

Congratulations & have fun!!

Since you want to have several of them, you'll save a lot by getting a single-use -- AKA, disposable -- camera, when compared to reloadable cameras, like the Kodak M35. Ilford sells one with HP5, and Kodak has one with Tri-X -- about $15. They have similar features with a built-in flash and battery.

But if money is no object, or you prefer to give away the cameras for re-use, then the M35, or similar models, makes sense.

If a bunch of my friends loved cameras - and they do - then the M35 would be perfect.

Don't we qualify as "a bunch of my friends who love cameras"?

Sure, but are you invited to the wedding?
It was the OP's friends I was referring to.
And I was thinking back to my wedding, and all the photograper friends who were there.
