Holga time!
I suppose it was inevitable. I got a Holga. I've posted some pics on photo.net.
The Holga is a weird plastic medium format camera from China. It's famous for light-leaks and vignetting (dark corners round the edge of the photo). Nevertheless, it is capable of producing soft focus, dreamy-looking pictures. When they're good, they're very good. And I like the look.
For example... (click it)

Another Mjuser...
There's a guy called S.Liu on photo.net who does nice work with a Mju. And an XA (a Mju ancestor) and a Rolleiflex as well... While you're there, the Rolleiflex photos are well worth looking at. The Rollei in question is a 1932 vintage. When you get to S. Liu's page, browse down until you find the Mju section. Some of the galleries were taken using Ilford XP2 film, which I've been using recently as well.
