    I’mma be honest, I’ve used disposable cameras, but not in a long time. I’d appreciate the reminder if I were handed one. Something about winding after (or before?) each photo?

      For most of them, it doesn’t matter. When the film is wound on, it would hit a ratchet stop to prevent you winding it beyond the next film cell anyway - which would only be released when the shutter button was operated, so you’d intuitively feel whether the film had been already wound forward or not.

      This thread reminds me of inexpensive package holidays as a child. It’s brilliant.
