david_m Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 The following shots were taken with a Vivitar Ultra-Wide and Slim. This is a cheap plastic camera I've been able to find in thrift stores for under $3. Photos were taken in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. This is a fixed focus, fixed shutter speed, fixed aperture camera with a plastic 22mm lens. It just shows what can be achieved with a cheap camera. Film used was Kodak High-Definition 400.<br> <p>First shot is entitled "Yellow Building Series #1": <p><img src="http://members.cox.net/mcsparron/Photos/Yellow-Bldg.jpg"></img> <p>Second shot is entitled "Old Awning": <p><img src="http://members.cox.net/mcsparron/Photos/Awning.jpg"></img> <p>Third shot is entitled "Radiator Shop": <p><img src="http://members.cox.net/mcsparron/Photos/Radiator.jpg"></img><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen hazelton Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Is this a new camera, or used camera? If new, what stores are you seeing it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapegeek Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I've seen these at Thrift stores before... my favorite is the Ansco Panorama Pix. It has a 20mm lens and crops off the top and bottom of the frame for a faux panorama look... takes great pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
