Let me know what the verdict is on the camera.
It leaks light through the peek a boo window, but not always.

I'm migrating more and more of my content over here. I love old film cameras, and dunk my own film and have an archive bigger than the Smith.....

The camera sounds like a shredder when it advances the film.
I read a post somewhere that someone had talked to a camera tech about this camera and had mentioned that they are only good for about four rolls before they go kaput. I'm on roll seven.

I just remembered that my solargraph can is ready to take off the window sill after 6 months.
That's what you call "one I prepared earlier".🌞

This is a loose guide, but you know a shitty camera when you see it kinda thing. That said if you’re still not sure @shittychallenge.bsky.social with a picture of it, we & the community will let you know.
