Pentax 24EW (The ewwwwww)
I didn’t christen it the ewwwww that came courtesy of Duncan Turner. The primary and interesting feature of the 24EW, and what helps gives it its name is the 24mm at the wide end of the lens. The EW [pronounced /u/w/] actually stands for Extra Wide but that’s hard to miss on the front anyway. Very few other fixed lens film cameras have anything this wide. Released in 2003 it is also one of the last film cameras that Pentax produced as they were already well on the transition to digital. As with cake you can’t have it and eat it too and the inedible part here is the distortion that you get from the lens at 24mm, fortunately much of the distortion near the edges is masked by the vignetting (that would be sarcasm)
This camera has some great additional features the best of them being exposure compensation in half stops from -3 to +3 EV also it can close focus to 30cm.
