Mmmmm, now I feel like a klutz - I just posted an entry about what people are using. My main aim in asking the question, was to find peoples responses to the lens look issue - I agree with all above, in so far as the actual tool being unimportant. I do really feel though that digital doesn't allow the magic of the lenses to do it's thing.
Yes, I suppose what I'm getting at is the lenses. I've been using a Holga lens on a Canon 5d to try and get some magic, and can't get anywhere near the look of the Holga lens on a Holga.
I have until recently been using a fuji GX680 with pola type 665 then scanning the negs. But I've run out of all the stock I bought and now it's gone.
Maybe I've answered my own question now - maybe it's just the therapy I needed, not any specific answer!
;D
