The Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim

Greenbelt, originally uploaded by The Muffin Man.

As a way of keeping myself interested in taking photos I have been playing with film and toy cameras. The vivitar ultra wide and slim cost me £3.99 from ebay. It is a no nonsense no frills camera. There is no focus, shutter speed or aperture to worry about. The only problem with this is that when the sun is not out your pics are too dark.

The great thing about the vivitar ultra wide and slim is its plastic lens. When you get the sun in the shot (yes you heard me right, point it at the sun!) you get fantastic lens flare through the plastic.

I highly recommend getting on ebay, spending a couple of quid and shooting a roll of film!
