Hanimex's fixed-focus flash compact — 38mm plastic triplet, three apertures, Halina Flash 350 rebadge

The Hanimex 35SE is a fixed-focus 35mm flash compact sold under the name of Australian distributor Hanimex, actually made by Haking of Hong Kong as a rebadge of the Halina Flash 350. Its chunky styling follows the late-1970s flash-compact template, and it had a sibling in the Hanimex 35S, which paired the same body with a wider flash aperture.

The lens is a 38mm Hanimar coated plastic triplet with fixed focus and no metering. A weather slider selects f/9.5 or f/16, and sliding the flash out sideways both switches it on and sets a third f/5.6 aperture; the single shutter speed is 1/125. Advance is by manual thumbwheel, the flash runs on two AA cells, and despite the budget build there is a 43mm filter thread, a cable release socket and a tripod bush.

In use it is a lo-fi camera with more flexibility than most of its class: three apertures, filters and cable release give it modest creative range. The plastic triplet renders acceptably sharp frames at f/16 in good light, with pincushion distortion, chromatic fringing and flare providing the character shots that attract toy-camera enthusiasts.

The shutter is mechanical and fires without batteries, which only feed the flash, so a dead example is often gummed up. Check the flash charges on fresh AAs, the aperture and flash sliders move freely, the advance and rewind turn smoothly and the plastic lens is unscratched; examples remain cheap.
