22mm on film (cheap noname) and a $5 cam:

1.

2.

3.

Surprisingly, these shots are good enough for 13x18cm prints. I wouldn't print larger, though. Wink

That's pretty impressive. I'd love to have such a cam, or even a 28mm one. I had a truly crappy vivitar (they come under many other names) 28mm which broke 2/3 of the way through my first roll...

These look great, Carsten! And you don't have as much vignetting that I've
seen in others' shots. How do you like it? This cam close focuses to something like 6 inches, maybe less!

Great results, Carsten!

Agree with Bill, most of the shots I've seen have a noticeable vignetting...
Yo got extraordinary results!!

I'm about to finish my first roll as well... it's so exciting this tiny camera!

Jes.

I missed these. they look good for a toy camera.
I suspect you corrected some of the vignetting.
I have one arriving next week (£5) and look forward to some fun with it. It should be very different to my ME super with the Zenitar 16mm!!!
Well I hope it is!
