One pedantic correction. The Holga is not vintage, being quite a recent 
Chinese design still manufactured. It was adopted by various folks for 
its ability to make images as bad - in the conventional sense - as the 
poorest of cheap vintage cameras, without the need to dig one up and 
make sure it works.

I have a Holga lens mounted on a canon lens cap, but I haven't got the 
hang of making "bad" images that I like on the 5D so far. Maybe I'll 
never get the hang of good bad photography. :-)

I have been back to film photography a bit this year, with four rolls 
done and another partially exposed. All but the one Rollei 35 roll have 
been in OM-1(n) bodies. I wanted to do some stuff with close-ups and 
medium telephoto, where the OM-1 has vibration issues. Next roll may be 
in an OM-4, with mirror/aperture prefire.
