Great camera for fun
I'ts a nice camera, and it's fun to assemble. For the price it's really good.

Double the Fun
Fun # 1 -- This DIY camera was a lot of fun to put together. It made a great father-daughter educational experience.
WORD OF CAUTION -- If you have difficulty following assembly instructions written in Chinese then translated to English, or if you have little patience, this may not be for you.
Fun # 2 -- After it was all put together, we got to take pictures! We took it to the Wolf park in Battle Ground, IN, and the Indiana Dunes. Several strangers stopped and asked us about our neat little Lomo TLR.
After developing, we had about 2/3 of our shots turn out useable, with three or four really good ones. We were using this camera along side our Nikon DLSR's, but were more exited with the "take" from the plastic camera.
USAGE TIP -- I found that the back of the camera didn't hold the film in place well enough to engage the sprockets for the frame indicator. a couple of layers of plain tissue paper did the trick.
We are planning on ordering another one, this time taking the time to paint the outside first.
