β | The [[Vivitar]] '''Ultra Wide & Slim''' is an all-plastic [[point and shoot]] [[35mm]] film camera with a fixed f/11 aperture and 22mm wide angle [[fixed focus]] lens. Shutter speed is also fixed at 1/125s, so film with an [[film speed|speed]] of 400[[ASA|ISO]] is recommended for general use. The camera, which has been discontinued for some time, has found a new life in the "[[toy camera]]" and [[lomography]] universe, and has become much sought after. Photos with vignetted edges and the instantly recognisable lens flare give it a distinct low-fi and unique feel. The effects are emphasised by cross-processing slide film. |

The cult following of the UWS has led to it being reproduced by '''Superheadz''' as the ''White Slim Angel'', ''Black Slim Devil'', ''Yellow Peace'' and ''Blue Ribbon''. Clones known as the ''Rainbow V'' have also been seen. |
