Photography that you don't care, but pricey for a peice of plastic

I am a dslr photographer and once apon a time shot with film. Sometimes you get too technical in photography and need to do something else. Sprocket Rocket is one of those hipster camera that caught interests within my photography circle. Lomo is aboout just taking the shot and not worrying the framing or anything thing else. The cheap piece of plastic is actually qutie expensive, they know it is a hip toy and over charge. All you have is a place to place film, a shutter click. The apeture is eitehr indoor or outdoor, where indoor is f11 and outdoor is f22ish. Teh shutter peed is either 1/100s or bulb (however long you hold it down). The cool thing is it can take a speedlight flash.
My first rolled was either badly developed or I simply underexposed 13 of the 17 shots. Got 4 shots that I was able to scan and it was bad. On a normal 36 exposure film the panorama rocket here is 16-17 shots.
The second time around I used my dslr camera metering and Nikon SB-700 AF Speedlight Flash and it worked. See my link below in the comment line. Sprocket rocket is cool, you also have to do some Photoshopping to get the odd colors.
So it maybe a cheap (but costly) gimmick, but is totally fun. You need a lot of light, since this is either f11 or f22.

Got it for my teenage daughter for her birthday because she asked for it. Knew what I was getting into before I purchase it. Buying film, running to and from the drugstore for processing, scanning negatives on the scanner. And "Yap" I was right. After 3 rolls I think she has enough for awhile. And so do I. There are not a whole lot of settings on this thing. I would think some preset f-stops would be wonderful. No, just "Big Sun" and "Bid Cloud". Not to mention the plastic lens. My 1972 plastic Kodak with the 4 turning disposable flash bulbs on top takes better pictures. It's fine as a toy.

The pictures shown do not match the advertised product. The depicted camera is Lomography La Sardina Quadrat, not Sprocket Rocket.

Fun camera. If you are serious enthusiast of photography spend more money on your toys. BUT, if you like to experiment and have fun taking pictures, try one of these!
