Kodak's slim APS compact — 24mm Ektanar fixed-focus lens, pop-up flash, three print formats, CR2 power.
The Kodak Advantix T40 was a slim, pocket-sized APS compact in Kodak's Advantix family, sold in the early 2000s toward the end of the Advanced Photo System era. The T-series were the range's small fixed-lens models, sitting below the zoom-equipped C- and F-series Advantix cameras.
It pairs a 24mm Kodak Ektanar fixed-focus lens, sharp from roughly 1.2m to infinity, with automatic exposure and shutter speeds from 1/60 to 1/250. A pop-up flash covers subjects to about 4m, film advance is motorised, and an LCD panel reports mode and frame count. The three APS print formats — Classic, HDTV and Panoramic — can be chosen per frame, power comes from a single CR2 lithium cell, and the body weighs about 170g.
Its appeal was pure convenience: a genuinely pocketable camera with drop-in cartridge loading and no settings to think about. The 24mm lens gives a usefully wide view for group shots and holiday scenes, though the fixed focus rules out close-up work.
APS film was discontinued in 2011, so only expired cartridges can be shot and results are unpredictable; many T40s sell as display pieces. CR2 batteries are still easy to buy, so check the camera wakes, the pop-up flash rises and charges, the LCD panel displays and the motor winds — the camera will not fire without a working battery.
