Spot on - it's just a toy really. All of the exposures actually came out which I was amazed at to be honest. Some are hopelessly out of focus, some are blurred and some have so much light leaking in it's hilarious. But I got 16 images all the same. Not bad considering I had no idea how far to wind on after the first time when the indicator stopped working (linked to the sprocket moved by the film - the gears did not mesh fully).
The focus screen is plastic, just like everything else, and the viewing lens moves in/out in line with the exposure lens through a simple gear drive, but there is no way to calibrate this - I may have been a turn or even two out when I out it together.
Nice bit of fun though.
