This was taken on a thrift store Chinese camera (an "Ultronic)" that was advertised as a "panorama" camera.

I opened the back and there was a plastic mask thingy which I immediately removed. I loaded it up with some Kodak Gold 200

Rather surprising. . . .

It’s almost a WA Holga

    worth more
    it seems to do a pretty good job for a dollar!

    the camera is cheaper then the film-do you have an idea as to what is the focal length of the lens?

    it is extremely concerning as to how cheap things are from china

    i wouldn't want to be depending on manufacturing for an income in the west

    Yes, it's a 24mm lens. It may have cost $10 when new.
