That is a little unfair Alex, I actually owned and used one until it died so I am only reporting what I found with my copy. Colours with colour negative film were OK as was the centre for reasonable sharpness but plenty of distortion and edge blurriness. No light leakage. What I used mine for was as a beach camera taking photos of the then small children playing on the beach with plenty of sand and sea water flying around. Strangely I do not think it was the sea and sand that killed it because it never actually got splashed or anything but it just died refusing to fire.
