Reto Ultra-Wide & Slim 35mm Film Camera - Charcoal

I'm having such fun with my Reto Ultrawide and Slim. It travels with me everywhere as it's so small and light it fits nicely in my pocket. It was novel to find it survived an accidentally dropped on rocks once too.I like the way the camera handles flare, though of the taking into account of the fixed settings is otherwise important if it isn't sunny. Shooting from under the trees into light, for instance, doesn't work even with a colour Kodak Ultramax 400 film (used with all the sample shots).In sum, if you're after a camera with control, that looks more than a little plastic box (though that has a kind of charm for me too), or want to be able to shoot in dark or indoors this isn't the camera for you.

The Reto was a total impulse buy on my part. I'm glad I did though. It's lightweight and compact. Perfect for shoving in your pocket or bag. I've only run one roll of Silberra 160 through it so far but was surprised at how well it did. It was a little fiddly to load (you have to get the cartridge just so) and those with bigger hands than mine might struggle to keep their fingers out of the way when shooting with it. But with a range of colours to choose from, it's fun and easy to use. A perfect little plastic wonder.

The Reto Ultra Wide and Slim is a great light weight very pocketable take anywhere camera. It gives great wide results and is sharp centrally. Downsides it's cheap plastic and it really isn't designed to go beyond 24 shots as it starts to make noises like the plastic winder is under stress going up to 36. Despite this the counter does go up to 36 and so far I've got away with using several full rolls. Beware of the viewfinder. It's really only a guide to the centre of the image. There will be extra image on all sides on the final shot. Also hold it with your fingers holding only the sides of the camera as if you hold the front they will be in shot. Ditto the strap. Make sure you know where that is. Sample shots on P3200 worked well with the slow lens.
