Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Film Cameras
As you've read elsewhere, this is a copy of the Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim. Tiny and fun camera to throw in the bag. You may have read that the film door can be a beast to open. Upon receiving the camera, I found this to be very much the case. Others have recommended holding the camera upside down, but on my copy that technique didn't work. After trial and error, have arrived at a method that allows me to open the camera fairly easily. Hold the camera in your left hand so that your forefinger and thumb squeeze moderately tightly against the actual top and bottom of the camera at the latch end. The hinge end of the camera should be pointed toward the floor and the lens should be pointed at your left palm. As you use your right thumbnail to slide the latch open, simultaneously jerk the camera body leftward with your left hand. Think of this action as pulling the camera away from the film door. If you get the timing right, you'll either fully open the door or open it just enough to disengage the latch and allow you to pry it open with your fingernail. Happy shooting!Read full review
