Please note : Kodak instant film has not been manufactured since 1985.
Any original PR-10 or PR144 film still available is now over 40 years old and is almost always unusable because the developer chemicals have deteriorated.
Kodak EK160-EF History
The Kodak EK160-EF was introduced in July 1979 as part of Kodak's second generation of instant cameras. In North America it was sold as the Kodak Colorburst 250. It was one of the first instant cameras to feature a built-in electronic flash and motorised print ejection, replacing the disposable Flipflash system used on earlier models. It also included automatic exposure with a lighten/darken control.
Kodak entered the instant photography market in 1976, directly competing with Polaroid. However, after a lengthy patent infringement lawsuit, Kodak lost the case in 1985 and was forced to stop manufacturing both its instant cameras and instant film. Owners were even offered refunds or exchanges for their cameras. This marked the end of Kodak's instant photography system.
Film Availability
The EK160-EF uses Kodak PR-10 instant film packs. It is also compatible with the later PR144 film packs.
Unfortunately:
Kodak instant film has not been manufactured since 1985.
Any original PR-10 or PR144 film still available is now over 40 years old and is almost always unusable because the developer chemicals have deteriorated.
There is no modern replacement film that fits the camera directly.
Some enthusiasts have produced custom adapters to use Fujifilm Instax film, but these require modifications and are not an official or straightforward solution.
Today, the EK160-EF is best regarded as a collectible display camera rather than a practical instant camera, unless you are prepared to undertake a custom film conversion.
