The Reto camera has a fixed f11 aperture, a single 1/125th of a second shutter speed, and a 2-element focus-free plastic lens. But what caught our attention here was the wide 22mm focal length.

We looked around eBay Kleinanzeigen and found someone with a golden one, and we had to get it. We paid less than €10 for the camera, and the first thing we did once we got home was to clean the text in the front of the camera and remove any sign of what the camera used to be. Now we have a custom Vivitar Panorama, and we love how weird it takes pictures.
