Another Ultra Wide angle compact to poison you guys!

TrailsofLife · 23rd February 2007

Was doing some searching on the net for better ways to modify my konica wai wai or put the 17mm lens into good use. Have been trying to find a lighter and simpler camera to use instead of the heavy russian rangefinder....still no clues....

But I stumbled into a cheap 22mm ultrawide angle compact! Not as wide as Wai Wai but close enough. 22mm! Here's some links for you guys to feed yourself the poison

Sample Pixs

Selling on Ebay now! Pretty hot!

No need modding, no need to spend alot of time to open it up like wai wai, just load and ready to shoot!

ok lah...cheap and fun one....

I see Vortex got problem loading the wai wai, I also took awhile to load it...I still have not figure out how to wind all the film to the other side smoothly...so far the wai wai cut 2 rolls of my dummy films....the only consolation is I got a roll of konica ISO1600 film..ha ha...

thats why decided to move on...if get this one, then the wai wai can collect dust liao...ha ha...

Anyone know or spotted this camera in local camera shops?

i managed to attach a 0.45x wide angle attachment on my holga and fujica MA-1. pretty cool effects. (50mm x 0.45 = 22.5mm, i think that's how it works.)

I'm just preventing this forum from becoming a free advertising zone for shrewd businessmen out there that don't want to pay the fee for MO forum, yet want to make money.

The rules are there to protect the Alternative Photography Community, not to help businessmen cut corners.

As long as you can proof that the MO is purely to help people here save money and non-profitable for organiser, go ahead.

1st the fujica

araldite an old 49mm filter onto the fujica lens housing

take another old filter and remove the glass. keep the rings...

this is a sigma WA attachment. i purchased it from Cash Converters for $5. you can also buy the filters for about $2 - $3. it doesn't matter what brand they are, you just want the frames. i had to buy a 43-37 adaptor as WA has a 37mm thread.
