Vivitar IC 101 Panorama 35mm camera w/ original box and manual
The Vivitar IC 101 Panorama is a very simple snapshot 35mm camera that's a good reusable alternative to disposable cameras. It has a single shutter speed, fixed focus, and requires no batteries. It has surprisingly good good optics for a 'toy' camera. It's best used with color negative film outdoors. The manual says subjects from 1m to infinity should be in acceptable focus. The "panorama" in its name refers to its fixed ultrawide cropping format; if your photo lab doesn't support panorama format you might see black bars on the top and bottom of your pictures.
