[iangreenhalgh1]

A fun semi-disposable with 17mm lens, sold as WaiWai in Asia or Superwide elsewhere, none on ebay, maybe someone has one they would sell?

About 4 years ago I was hot after this camera, which was oh, 4 times the chance of finding one, as now.

flickr fave


Good luck, I console myself with the VUWS, which are still made, and in different colors.

I have the link somewhere to convert the camera to be re-loadable, tho probably not hard to suss out, if of course
you were lucky enough to find one.

Here's the set the flickr fave came from

Nice pic. I am going to grab a Viv UWnS when I see one cheap.

There is the Lomo LC-Wide with 17mm lens, very appealing if the asshats weren't trying to charge 349ukp for one.

Oh how I hate the Lomography deal, taking cheap low quality items and selling them for vastly inflated prices, makes my blood boil.
