Some show evidence of light leaks, contrast is lacking, focus is pretty soft, but overall I'm quite surprised at the results.
I did have difficulty with the viewfinder,it's really hard to frame and level the picture in the tiny window. You only get 8 frames per roll and I actually got 6 reasonable photos from the 8.

The exposures were by guesswork : I rated the Ilford FP4 plus film at 200 ASA and that seemed to work pretty well on a "cloudy bright" day.
