The camera is very manual, except the flash. The frames don't change width, just the height changes for pan modes.

A manual or something would be a great find.

.99 at a thrift store. It can't be all bad.

It's a no-name Chinese novelty camera. That's not to say it can't take good pictures. What sort of ID were you looking for, and for what purpose? It's not a Nikon...

Not all that good. I wouldn't pay more than $5 for it new.

I think I will throw some PlusX at it tomorrow. I have no idea what it prefers, 100 or 400 iso. Time to burn through some to find out.

ISO 125. Do not waste it experimenting at ISO 400.

Most of the "fixed everything" cheapish 35mm cameras are f11 at 1/100. They're "daylight" cameras -- 100 film for sunny conditions, 400 for cloudy conditions. The flash, if it's manual, might open the aperture up a few stops. Play around with it and see...
