I went with the Holga partly because (as Josh mentioned) Dianas used to be $100. I also hadn't shot any medium format film before, so I wanted to see how that was. Plus, I'd seen some really interesting shots come from Holgas. I know the photographer plays a huge part, but I like the idea that a tool takes some control out of your hands. Especially in such a representational medium as photography, it's important to me. I'd do a quick look around Mike. See how hard it is to get 120 film processed, thought I don't think that it will be too difficult. The Diana might be the way to go if 35mm is your only option. Thanks Mike!

I want to get my girlfriend a camera like this for her birthday. I had only really heard about Lomos, so I was going to take that route, but looking at this and other Holga shots is making this a harder decision. Were you choosing a Holga OVER a Lomo or just buying a Holga? Josh, you've shot with both? Are they both equally neato? I guess the Holga is cheaper...Thanks A LOT Ira for confusing my decision.

I'll definitely look into that. Aw man, a wide angle lens sounds awesome. I’ll definitely look into that.

I'm not that psyched w/ the sprocket hole look though, and I like the square format. Good to keep in mind though. I haven't shot with any of Lomos other camera, but I'd like to. The Action Sampler looks kinda cool. I'll probably see what I can get out of the Holga. Did you see that they recently came out with some lenses (wide angle, etc) for it? I'd be psyched to pick those up. I am aware of the 35mm mod. I’m not that psyched w/ the sprocket hole look though, and I like the square format. Good to keep in mind though.

I know from experience. Also, did you know that with a tiny bit of modification you can run 35mm film through it? ( like so: http://www.flic.kr/joshlafayette/4146888404/ ) Then you don't have to aways shell out for 120 film when you get a Holga-hankerin'. Also, have you ever shot an Lomo cameras? For even less control and more fun results I suggest the Lomo Action Sampler. This "comment" feels like an e-mail.
