I&#8217;m embarassed to say I ruined my IC 101 panorama. Do not use rubbing alcohol to clean the lens, I repeat, do not use rubbing alcohol to clean the lens. I used 70% rubbing alcohol to clean a smudge and I clouded the lens. </p> <p>I will see what I can do to restore it, but I do not have high hopes. I guess I could see about rubbing it out with a plasic polish, but that may affect the optics due to rubbing out some minute amounts of material. I guess that&#8217;s better than what I have now. :(</p> A quick follow-up and warning to all. I’m embarassed to say I ruined my IC 101 panorama.

I loaded some 200asa film in it for the test run. I had heard that Vivitar Panoramics were decent for point and shoot plastic cams, so I was excited to find one.</p> <p>Does this quality extend to Vivitars other plastic cams, or is this a special case? I also found a Vivitar Eco 35 which I snapped up as well. What was interesting about this one is that it has a flash shoe, which surprised me being on a simple plastic point and shoot.</p> I just got one at a thrift store yesterday for $2 as well.
