slimmer_jimmer says: The viv can produce some quite striking lens flares. Although shooting specifically for flares seems to be a viv right-of-passge (something I've grown a bit weary of personally), sometimes a choice flare works it's magic, like here.

slimmer_jimmer says: The Viv is perfect for arms length self portraits. And shooting C-41 colour film can produce some lovely results

slimmer_jimmer says: With a fixed shutter and aperture the viv could be considered a summer / sunny day / slow film sort of camera. But far from it - just shoot for silhouette!

slimmer_jimmer says: For quite a while I sold Vivs on ebay, many of the buyers have stayed in contact and I've enjoyed seeing their results from around the world (although this marvelous example is from my brother, who got his for free...)

slimmer_jimmer says: Another beautiful and subtle flare. Also like the combination of Ektar 100 (the new, super-scanning 35mm film from Kodak) and the lo-tech viv (basically a plastic box with a hole in in)
