The return of the cult classic! The Sunpet-produced Vivtar Ultra-Wide & Slim is a cult-status trashcam from the 1990s. It's gone under many names and modifications since then. But relaunched in 2021 from RETO, the new Ultra-Wide & Slim has everything you like and dislike about the original!

I love mine! Fun little camera to have for sure! Enjoy the wide angle. I’ve ran more than 3 rolls on it already and it’s still going strong. The key to the film winder is following the arrow when you roll your film.

Thanks for this lovely video! :) I just ordered this camera. I tried the medium first with a disposable from kodak, but even before I developed the film it was so much fun. I do also shoot digitally but I like the slower approach of analoge :)

Mine came in the post today, used from ebay 10 usd. Read a couple reviews saying how small it is and yes it is tiny. In my hands without even a roll in it I cab tell this is going to be a lot of fun

Thanks for this. The curved film plane is ingenious. I’m grateful that you share your wide-ranging photographic interests and insights with us.

Cheers! Yeah it’s a great addition that makes up for some of the kit-bashed optics. Thanks for watching 🍻

I definitely find them fun! Love the bit about the curvature inside the camera. I haven’t tried this one but definitely like the compact size and portability of these types of cameras. ❤

I got the Vivitar UW&S a few years ago (cheaply). I shot it once and it felt so fragile that I was always worried about breaking it. It did take pretty decent photos. I bought the Reto version but still haven't shot it yet. Toys cameras are fun in general but so many of the newer ones are just copies of each other, you only need one. I did get the Kodak H35 to try. Nicely done, informative video.

Yeah it sure does feel that I’m about to break the thing. The H35 does look interesting but I still can’t get past the half-frame idea! Thanks for watching 🍻

Plastic fantastic! I've got a harmon 35mm reusable, I got it for the flash so I could get those super lofi shots. Would I get the reto? Maybe for being a tourist around town with a cheap roll of film. Thanks for sharing!

@AlexLuyckxPhoto Жыл бұрын

The Harman reusable is a solid little camera as well! Thanks for watching 🍻

do you reckon the lens might be taken apart & adapted easily to a body cap like the kodak Funsaver can? i recently followed the instructions to Matthieu Stern's Funsaver video & got very satisfying results from it! was wondering if i could also pull apart the lens in this camera to adapt on my sony :))

@AlexLuyckxPhoto Жыл бұрын

In this case probably not as it seems completely integrated into the body. You may be able to cut it out completely. But it would cause damage to the lens!

@@AlexLuyckxPhoto ah, that's unfortunate. looks like a fun camera regardless! thanks for going in-depth on this one, i enjoyed seeing the results
