Cool, pretty interesting.
That's a good idea to fix a pressure plate causing scratches. Will have to remember that.
I say "pressure plate" in quotes because it's just a plastic protrusion from the back of the camera to hold the film flat-ish. Considering how crude those toy cameras are I assume the makers counted on the 120 backing paper to protect the film as it is advanced (which it does). Consequently, the back side of a bare roll of 35mm in there gets scratched all to hell, at least in my experience. I should load some 35mm into my Holga. It's been a while and it was pretty fun the last time I did it.

Starting to see a rotary phone theme here. Like fuzzy streams and waterfalls, the LF camera laserbeams right in on them.

Backed up for a wider view.
Verito 7.25" half way to 5.6, was a little smoother before Flickr touched it. I was amazed to see how the Verito sort of took a gentle sanding block to the shadows/lines.

Very nice all three, the phone's out of focus areas are brilliant. Also hard to expose but you nailed it.
One of the few spots in the house I find impossible to fill with clutter. If I'd panned down a few more inches you'd see that the window sill is covered in crap.
