Having fun with this DIY toy 35mm camera. I ordered one from ebay and it came in paper -string wrapped- packaging with an instruction manual I'm certain was a google translate job with words like virtual for visual.
Be prepared for little screws, and three fiddly springs at the shutter construction. I took my time and watched this youtube video.
Make sure the lenses are aligned. There are two little dots on each to align. The google translated instruction manual is not clear about this. You focus these lenses by turning them in and out.
Its basic design works well, the view finder really works even if it is just a mirror, however there is no counter and winding the film is helped by pushing the back plate.
