Shooting with those plastic wonders is always an adventure, so I'm told...
Oh, it is. Figure the exposure is bad on at least half the roll. Of
those that were exposed, more or less, reasonably, you'll probably
botch the composition on a few. At least once per roll the shutter
won't open at all. You'll double expose a shot or two. And when
you've weeded out all that crap, you'll find that you might, maybe,
but probably not, have one decent shot that you're willing to scan,
low res, and post online somewhere. If you get a single shot worth
printing (and that's very subjective, to say the least) every dozen
rolls or so, I'd say you were doing pretty good.
I find the Diana craze just a bit strange, for a fraction of what you
pay for one of those modern /marvels/ you can buy an old Kodak Browie or
Agfa click. Which gives you lots more money to spend on film. Heck you
can even modify them to accept modern flash units, (no I haven't done
that but you can). A fifty year old camera is just as much an adventure.
