Vivitar PN2011 plastic camera

I gave 1 euro and bought this camera from a stall. This is an all plastic camera. There are no Vivitar parkings on the camera, perhaps it was a promotional gift. It is very light, somewhat big but it is easily holdable in the palm.
There is a panoramic setting that crops the 135mm film and makes the picture look wider.
The lens is a plastic 28mm wide angle.
There is only one combination of aperture and speed f8 and 1/125sec.


The camera needs good light, there was an expired 100 ASA film in it that proved underexposed.
I scanned and cropped the pictures to simulate the panoramic setting of the camera.

I loaded the camera with a 400 ASA Black and White film. There was some overexposure in bright sunlit scenes and ok in the shade. Next time I will try a 200 ASA film, I think it's better in sunny conditions and in open shade.
The 28mm lens permits taking photographs with the camera at waist lever from very close distances. The 1/125s speed is adequate for steady shots, the lens is soft but no complains this is only a cheap plastic camera.
