RETO shows us that the H35N can still just be about fun, with a built-in star filter. A simple lever beside the lens deploys a small, etched plastic filter that will turn points of light into disco-esque four-point stars. This feature of course is aimed squarely at the younger shooters who are less concerned with resolution improvements brought by the coated glass and aspherical lens elements. The plastic filter, in fact, is clearly at odds with the optical improvements and welcomes back the highlight glow that this new lens addressed. As you can see in the diptych below, the addition of the star filter on the right robs some contrast and resolution. One could view this as a stark conflict of the philosophy behind the Kodak Ektar H35N, or just a simple reminder that one ought not take their photography too seriously!
