A new Ilford film?

I like using an old Agfa "Click III" for 6x6 cm toycamera photography. It pretty does the same thing as a Holga, but without the leaks. It's possible to introduce leaks when needed: just slide the latch off and loosen the back a bit and let light breach into the sides. It's light leaks on demand

Or else, I could turn to an old cardboard Agfa-Ansco Cadet B2 which makes 6x9 cm exposures.

You make it sound like anyone who doesn't want to use a toy camera is obsessing about lens quality. You missed the point. There are endless choices out there for nice soft focus lenses. But Holga, Diana, and Lomo users seem to think you have to use one of those products, and pay a premium to do so. I am by no means an equipment snob, I use Argus Cs and Zorkis, among other things, but I don't get why one has to buy a Holga to take pics any box camera built in the last 120 years can take. Take a look at Marcy Merrill's work to see what I mean.

No points missed Mr DBP - just my point made.

Mr Hicks - sorry - I thought you were dismissing all holga photographers and their ilk as cliche wielders. Sorry if I misunderstood

Sorry if I misunderstood

Not at all. It is I who should apologize for not making myself clearer.
