Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim
Don’t you just love to hate oxymorons?
The Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim is one of the ultimate plastic cameras. It has a “Ultra wide” 22mm lens and is an incredibly small camera, you could ever say it’s massively slender. One thing to keep in mind is that it has a fixed aperture of F11 and a fixed shutter speed of 1/125sec. So to get the best results you want to shoot in circumstances that require exposures around that level. I was using ISO 400 film so that would be about EV12 or average daylight. Looking at the roll of film as a whole it’s clear that I pointed the camera towards the light a lot. Well it’s a plastic lens of course it’s going to flare so let it flare. And vignette don’t get my started with the vignetting it’s perfectly awful! OK so it’s bad in a good way and I’m nearly out of oxymorons.
