Nice.
I've found my self eyeing these up, and the original Lomo cameras. Even been known to try and produce the odd fake lomo using digital editing.

I really like both one and two.  Number one is nicely layered with the trees in the background and the slighltly OOF foreground and the bridge connecting them.

With number two, I'm a sucker for construction images. I just like things that look a bit raw!

Nice reflections in number 3, but to be honest that bottle looks a bit lost?

I used to have a Lubitel, but it wasn't even sharp in the middle of the frame.  Apparently you find the odd good one.

I thought you had to make sure the film was tight, at leadt that is what I did failed to do with the one I borrowed.
It is simpler than it looks.

That's true.  And the Chinese Seagulls which were on sale in the late 80s are, apparently, more reliable than a Lubitel, while still having the lo-fi aesthetic.
