Vivitar Wide

The camera i'm looking for is relatively inexpensive but more recently started to pick up in popularity again. Can anyone point me towards a few sites that sell these plastic cameras? I'm on the hunt.

Price: $39.95 $18.95

surprisingly vivid colors
vignetting effect
shoots standard 35mm film

sorry, i don't know much about compatibility, but i want a wide angle lens very badly and found this one online!

For Canon EOS XSi series you need an EF-S mount lens. Your vivtar is a MC mount Lens. It will suit to Pentax and other cameras which are using MC mount. Of course you can find an adapter for fitting the MC mount to an EF mount camera but AF and aparature settings will not work.

Price: $179.99

Illuminated calculator dial
Vertical bounce flash
Auto Thyristor circuitry

Just seeing if I can get it for a better price.

Also, you guys have shots with it, let me see 'em!

Sakar has recently aquired Vivitar and seems to have discontinued the camera. Your best bet is aftermarket auctions.

It is a fairly tough camera to find today.

I use eBay everyday, keep your life simple.

So I've been on the hunt for a vivitar ultra wide and slim for about a month and a half now, still no success. I've looked mostly on ebay and every auction i bid on either ends up rising to a price I'm not willing to pay or getting sniped in the last 30 seconds. Either way, I lose and I'm still camera-less.

Rather than continue to spend my time looking for an authentic vivitar, i've begun to search for some kind of modern alternative. To this point, I found a company, superheadz, that says their product is a remake of the classic ultra wide and slim, but it seems worth questioning to me. they say they're made in the same factory and with the same wide lens that made vivitars so popular, so i wondered - does anyone know if i'd be getting the same camera (though updated) from superheadz as i would were i to actually win one of the items i bid on over ebay???

This is a toy camera, a 35 mm version of a LOMO type. It only has one shutter speed and one aperture opening (aperture f/11 and Shutter Speed 1/125th sec) and of course is pre-focused at 2m (6 feet). You know all this I am sure, so buying a Vivitar version it not such a big deal.

And actually these cameras are not that popular. The 120 LOMO cameras are the ones that are so popular. I would not pay more than $30 USD if you really want one.

What is a little scary is that Vivitar dot com does not list this camera. I hope the stated PRICE: 1,300 is in something other than USD. The camera probably cost under $10 to manufacture.
