Films for the Reto Ultra Wide & Slim
According to the instruction manual, the Reto Ultra Wide & Slim exposes 35mm film. These films are still available on the market and can be easily developed at most external photo labs without causing any difficulties. For color photography with this camera, the Kodak Ultramax 400* in 35mm format is recommended. For black and white shots, the Kodak T-Max 400* in 35mm format can be used.
The C-41 development process is commonly used to develop color film and is available in many photo labs. Large drugstore chains in Germany also offer color film development. There are several ways to develop black and white films. You can take them to a photo lab or develop them yourself at home with the proper equipment.
The exposure range of the 35mm photo camera is 24 mm x 36 mm. Normally, about 36 pictures can be taken on a standard film. The film must be manually advanced by the photographer to get to the next image, as the camera has no automatic film advance.
