just so i know if im using it right. i have to press the shutter and advance the film a few times before i get to the first frame? meaning that those photos that i take will not be on the negative?
What's the point? The kiddies that this camera is aimed at wouldn't look twice at it as it means having to buy a film, shooting it, and then returning the film for developing and printing only to find that you now have 24 or 36 useless snaps. When all the kiddies posess cell phones with cameras that have the capability to instantly view video and selfies, add a dumb filter before uploading to their chosen account at no extra cost.

I like the look of your pics with this
They can be compelling for sure.
Konica made a ultra wide toy camera called Konica WaiWai back in the days, featuring a 17mm f8 lens.
I had never heard of that. Thank you!

That's correct. The first two or three frames will be on the film leader, and not recorded.
Hey David, is this re-release sturdier enough that it can use 36 exposure rolls without breaking?
LOL. I managed five or six rolls before the rewind button fell out of mine.
@@DavidHancock Oooooof. Well, that should be enough for the 3 rolls in my freezer. :-)
This is, of course, made from the Vivitar Ultra-Wide camera molds... I had several of them about 2015 until the shutters eventually died.
Yup, and there have been some other badges since. The only thing that seems to change is the color scheme.

I'm not sure that's a perfectly accurate take. The majority of film use growth is with the younger demographic.
