I brought this camera as a gift for my cousin, and she was so happy when she received it. She really loved that it fit in her purse.

Great little camera! Better than expected! Feels a bit better quality than the Kodak models too. Potential for some cool lens flare. Shot on Kodak gold 200:)

Loving this camera!! the value for money & the ease of use is definitely positive. The brightness on the film definitely depends on the what film you use for 35mm. however the durability of this tiny little thing is great!! it's very easy to bring on vacation and on the go with your friends, here are some photos that I've taken with it and gotten back from developing.

One can't really complain about optical quality for a lofi product like this. Expect lofi, get lofi.If you shoot analog, get one of these. They're easy to carry, and completes that hipster vibe we both know you're going for.

ストロボが付いていないことで、かなりコンパクトかつ軽量。カバンの中やポケットに気軽に入れることができる。男性用ワイシャツの胸ポケットに収まる。画角は好みもあるかもしれないが、広角ながら、歪みがほぼ無い。丸っこいデザインでなく、四角いカメラが欲しかったので、色も含めて良かった。唯一、フィルム室が開けにくいのが残念だが、普通に使えるし慣れかもしれない。ストロボを必要としないのであれば、この手のカメラの中ではとても優位なカメラだと思う。

The seller was great and shipping fast and on time. Happy customer!Short review: Excellent, crazy fun camera. Pick one up!Long, drawn out review: Buy one! The Reto Ultra Wide and Slim is a hoot to carry and shoot with. Super light and unobtrusive to carry anywhere. I did not understand the hype of the previous incarnations of this camera until I ran a few rolls through it. Super fun! You outta purchase one!I am still waiting on the lab to send my film back, maybe this week. I am quite familiar with the lo-fi/ Lomo aesthetic in film photography (Holga's, Dianas, pinhole, 110 format, etc.), but I expect to be pleasantly surprised by the results of the RUWS. The results of this camera view online are compelling, if my shots are half as good I will be over the moon.Even though I wish this camera had multiple exposure capability, and a hotshoe, and some exposure control, and on and on; I know in my heart it would ruin the experience. This is about as basic as it gets (a box that holds film) and it is up to me to use my skills and creativity as a photographer to create worthwhile photos. BTW, get one. No home should be without a RUWS!Even though I have a number of cameras at my disposal, the RUWS most certainly will get the nod often. You should get one! Steal it if you must, lol.In closing, just do it already. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I was able to load and shoot my first roll no problem. Now trying to load film it won’t catch properly to wind - just the endless winding. I’m worried I won’t be able to use it again. It’s a great size and light enough to travel or carry everyday.

We bought 5 of these for our wedding and 3/5 of them ended up jamming up after a few photos and not being able to finish even one roll of film. You’re better off buying a disposable camera or finding a good lot deal on some real cameras on eBay or facebook marketplace. I do a lot of film photography and these are just so flimsy and feel like a toy. Maybe worth $10.

Every roll of film I used in this camera was ruined or blank. The camera simply doesn’t work at all. I spent lots of money mailing film to be developed and both the camera and that process was a waste. Don’t buy this camera. I’ve tried many things to make it work and it just doesn’t.

È un accessorio, carino, colorato, effetto retro sia nel design che nella resa degli scatti. Non ne caverete però immagini tecnicamente soddisfacenti, escono tutte scure anche scattate in piena luce. Con il costo che hanno oggi le pellicole, è meglio usarle con macchine dignitose e non delle macchinette come queste. Qualità costruttiva un po' scadente, costa poco e vale poco, che dire. Carinissima come soprammobile.

Camera's easy to use and a great value but the two cameras sent to me by amazon both had film transport issue. The first camera's advancing mechanism stopped working entirely and was completely jammed. The second camera had transport issues, around frame 12 it felt as if the film seized up in the camera body while advancing. Fairly ugly thing because i felt the film compartment door rise a bit when this occurred. Great idea but cheaply made with poor QC. I hope it's not the same issue with the Ektar H35.

The Ultra Wide and Slim is one of the best little plastic cameras ever, and RETO has brought it back! I was looking for one of the original Vivitar versions, and when I discovered that RETO was making a new version, I immediately bought one. Its 22mm wide-angle plastic lens produces amazing photos with tons of vignetting, and if the sun is in the shot, it has some ridiculous lens flare if you’re into that sort of thing. It’s small enough to carry around in your coat pocket or bag, so you can always have it with you. There’s no flash, so the Ultra Wide and Slim is definitely an outdoor daytime camera. Will it produce one of your best photographs ever? Or will it implode under the stress of its own plastic existence? You don’t know! (It probably won’t implode - none of mine have, and I’ve had several.) But it’s worth the risk. Get one! (FYI, if you’re familiar with the old Superheadz version, this new RETO version does NOT have the soft-touch finish that turned the Superheadz cameras all sticky over the years. Instead, the RETO has a dull matte finish.)
