Ever since I got my lomo instant the camera body has been quick to scratch or peel. I have been travelling and just gave it a second look now after some extensive use and the whole camera body is so ugly and peeling everywhere - is the quality that bad on these or is mine “defective”?

anyone with a 135/35 mm holga: i shot two rolls of film, totally fine. the third roll,film ripped - which i thought was due to my fake nails not fully pushing in the “rewind” button on the bottom. tonight? no nails, triple checked it was fully pushed in, and i could feel my film rip again. has this happen to y’all? i love my 120 holga but a 35 mm obv provides way more exposures.

i just don’t want to rip anymore film and i’m upset because i was ready to rewind and load another roll to take a picture of a very interesting gentleman. WHAT GIVES????

Hello, I used the Simple Use Reloadable Film Camera (first time using it, so it was pre-loaded with a roll of film), but I misinterpreted the instructions, and thought I needed to wind the film before opening the camera.

So I respooled the used film back as though I loaded a fresh roll.

Can I place black tape over the lens and shoot the roll to get the film back into the canister? Will that work and prevent it from a double exposure? Do you have any other suggestions?

Edit: to illustrate, after I finished shooting the film, I did not open the camera, I just rewound the film like they show starting at 0:27 mark in this video: https://youtu.be/l2ONgNZg_HA

I got lomomatic 110 zebra, and it feels like it only takes a photo when i switch to double exposure button. what am i doing wrong? thank you

Hi. I am looking for a low quality camera that can take pics of good memories for my friends and I when we travel overseas. Do any of you have any suggestions? Ebay, AliExpress, temu, any good cameras you suggest, that I can find on these sites? Thanks in advance :)
