Konica WaiWai 800
written by weechonghooi on August 25th, 2009 , 9 comments (9 votes)

Whether or not it’s proud or not to say, this is my second camera after my Lomography SuperSampler. Introducing the very plastic light-weight reusable disposable camera, The KONICA WAI WAI!

Let me tell you what is so special about this camera and why I called it “Reusable-Disposable” camera. Alright, first of all, this little camera has the super wide17mm lens, and it has a built-in flash. It is supposedly a disposable camera, but we, like to do lots of experi-LOMO-ment, with little modification from some tutorial in YouTube, so in the end, this camera is reusable and even MX mode available.

It came with a Konica 800 pre-loaded, so you can re-load another film after shooting a roll and another. It has fixed aperture of f/8 and one shutter speed of 1/100, which is not bad at all. Besides that, what is fun about it is that there is a mirror mounted on the front merging with the lens works as a view-finder which is really best for self-portraits or group shots with friends. Not to be surprised at all that this baby creates vignettes effects too.

One last thing before I end this up, it cost me shockingly less than 10USD only. Amazing isn’t it? Well now, let’s enjoy the some shots that WaiWai shot.
