Very nice! I started a thread here on the forum with images taken with the RETO. Most of my images are cross-posted there, along with many wonderful images from other members. Hope you can share some of your results there. 😁

RETO Ultra Wide & Slim

Last year, RETO revived the Ultra Wide & Slim, another clone in the long line of ultra wide & slim plastic cameras. It's practically identical to the Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim, which as I found out is itself a clone. However, you can buy the RETO version brand new for $29.99 and it comes in a...

I've looked at all your pictures in this thread and I've decided I don't care for the color quality, myself. Very much a yellowish cast to it, like old prints that have taken on a color shift.

One thing is for sure -- the scenery is nothing like New England!

Fair enough, and well taken! I'll freely admit I'm not the best at post-processing color scans, but that's besides the point.

I'm grateful to others who have posted samples in other similar threads, so glad it has helped you decide.

I actually have shot with Ultramax and been pleased with the results, but it's current date stuff -- has the emulsion been tweaked recently?

I don't know if the emulsion has changed recently, but some recent examples I've shared in this thread are expired in 2019 (i.e., not that expired) and taken with a plastic (including the lens) RETO camera. 😅
