Mamiya RZ67 Pro II, with Mamiya-Sekor Z 110mm f/2.8 W, mostly around f/8, and a Foma 100 roll that was disguised as Foma 400: The box and the rebate border say "100", but the wrapper and the seal said "400", so I metered at 250. I will never buy Foma again.

So I put a 'fresh' cartridge into this disposable camera, just to see what something this simple could do.
Fuji film in a Kodak camera - the horror!
I've read that Kodak actually put decent lenses in at least their 35mm one time use cameras, so maybe also this thing?
Film already shot and getting developed. Will have results soon. I hope they will be decent, as I have 12 more of these things to unload!
Results are in...
Surprisingly good, all things considered. Best use (of course) in nice bright conditions as only one shutter speed/aperture. Optimal sharpness seems to be about 12 ft, but decent results from 6 ft to about 40 ft... Main cause of lack of sharpness is camera shake, as this thing is awkward to hold, the shutter button is in an awkward position, and the action is awkwardly long and stiff. Thassa awful lotta awkward!
But if you hold it steady, not bad especially seeing the camera looks like a couple of pieces of lego stuck together.
