What type of filter did you use for those? I finally bought a decent polarizing filter for my photoshoot today, although I'm still getting the hang of it. Anyway, I really like those.

I bought these filters from freestyle photographics:

They're specifically made for holga's which, if you don't already know, is a medium format toy camera. I think if your into photography it's definitely worth experimenting with because they only cost about $20 and they have a really cool look to them.

Wow, that's awesome. I've seen Holga's referenced on photo communities but hadn't really looked into them too much; I didn't realize they were that cheap. I'll definitely have to pick one up. On that note, I really want to get a medium format dual reflex Mamiya one of these days... I've been aching to start playing with actual film photography as I'm starting to notice some of the limitations of digital.

cool. I've don't really know anything about that camera although I've used mamiya's a couple of times before.

What limitations are you refering to? I usually only shoot film when I'm using toy camera's or trying some specific technique that I can't do with digital. I guess if your comparing a medium format camera to a 5 or 6 megapixel slr then there's a big difference in resolution. But it seems like if your going to spend the extra money getting a really nice medium format camera you might as well get a higher resolution slr instead. You could also get a used 35mm slr just to mess around with and then decide if you want to invest in a medium format camera.
