This fun, super wide angle camera is a cult classic, highly sought by toy camera and lomo fans.Lightweight and compact, the Konica Waiwai is a fully automatic point-and-shoot camera, which comes pre-loaded with ISO 800 colour film.
Although designed to be disposable, these plastic gems can actually be reused over and over again — it’s easy to reload them with film in a darkroom or film-changing bag. Instructions for how to do this are readily available on the Internet.
Unfortunately, Konica has stopped making the Waiwai and there is nothing similar on the market … there aren’t many around, so grab one while you can.
