I cherry-picked these from flickr and wanted to share what the Vivitar
Ultra Wide and Slim can do:

[Pix have been deleletd from my photobucket account...]

If someone thinks this is not cool LMK. I'm just marveling at this camera
that is 22mm and made of plastic!

Jes and Carsten, these are all over ebay! The whole thing is made of
plastic including the lens. You might find one in a thrift store, but brand new
they run about $10. 22mm wide angle lens, 125sec shutter speed, and f11,
that's it! Laughing

I plan on buying a couple per month, LMK if you have trouble getting one!

Thanks, Bill. Ordered mine Smile
(Even if vignetting is noticeable in most samples, but for that price one cannot pretend a Flekto ...)

Thanks. Apparently, they are not sold in Germany, can you believe it?!
I have found two in the UK, though. We'll see... Wink

(Andy, it looks like the club is growing already!)

Fellas, I wasn't getting much response except from Andy in my posts in the
$50 Camera project of Mattias', so saved a bunch of these pics and loaded
it into my Photobucket, probably not cool and will be deleting them out of
my Photobucket in a week. Don't know if Attila can save these to the forum,
but wouldn't want to countenance any backlash from an owner of one of these pics.

Camera doesn't look much larger than a deck of cards and has a 22mm
lens! It just looked like fun-squared to me! Maybe we can change out these
pics with our own, might be a good idea.

Best,

Bill

Shocking results! But I guess rather photographer quality than camera lens.

Got mine 2 days ago, came gift-wrapped! Shocked Currently shooting a roll
of Fujicolor 200. Nice bright viewfinder, and well thought-out for ergonomics,
like the film advance dial on the bottom left, slick.
