They look exactly like the Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim, just in different colors and under a different brand. I wonder if they'll yield the same pictures as the Vivitar. The Popeye Cyan looks really cute but I heard that it's expensive. The Turtle brand must be expensive too (everyone's jumping on the popularity and scarcity of the original UW&S). Anyways, I found a black Vivitar UW&S being sold in Amazon Japan. Bad news is that it cannot be shipped outside of Japan.
I recently bought an Eximus from toy*camera (eBay) and it included an extra winder in the package. I can't compare whether the output is the same with the Vivitar because I don't have one myself. Anyways, I hope it's sturdier than the original. I've been hearing a lot of problems about the fragility of the original Viv's winder.
Special thanks to my Twitter buddy inf3ktion for showing me the Rainbow UW&S.
