This is Wai Wai:

Funny name for a camera! Must be something different in Chinese... More investigation needed. Update to follow. Skj.

Looking at the camera in detail now, well not too much detail, just looking properly... Wai Wai is prob just Wide Wide... being a 17mm and all! I gotta chase them down.

cool. i'll look forward to hearing what you discover once you've got one. i haven't found one here yet, but i suspect it's only a matter of time...:) though while i was looking i did find a shop that sells i-zone film. so now i can try out the camera i picked up at the flea market a few weeks ago.

they do look like pretty cool cameras. There are a few on ebay... nice curvy wide-angle look to the shots!
