There are only a few spots in Chartres to catch blooming "sakura" trees, this is one of them. I took the photos during my luchtime break, near my office, with my Reto Ultra Wide & Slim loaded with expired Kodak Ultra. As a bonus, two photos of my immediate neighbourhood.

    Love the way that lens warps the colors and makes it look like expired slide film!

    Thank you @nonspecificscientific 😎 I see You have the Superheadz version of the Reto... So You know what you are talking about 😉 I really love this plastic cam ! I wish there was a Lomo version of it... to add to my collection !
    By the way, I did use expired Kodak Ultra 400, it's not slide but I like the rendering.

    @mackiechartres There is! The La Sardina has the same focal length, but maybe even better lens build; more features as well. I highly recommend it. :)
