Horse Chestnut (30mm lens)
Taken with a Ricoh R1 compact point and shoot camera. This is a new acquisition, and this was a quick film to see if it works. The camera is not fully functional, the flash no longer works, but the electronic shutter stays open for up to 2 seconds if needed. The interesting thing about the camera for me is the dual lens, which has focal lengths of 30mm and 24mm, selected by an additional element sliding into place. Originally the 24mm setting switches to "panoramic" format with internal masks, but these are easily disabled to allow a full frame image, albeit with blurry vignetted edges. The film is Agfa Vista from Poundland, developed in the Tetenal C41 kit.
The camera is also sold as the "Rollei Prego Micron"
