Analog film photography and cameras

there's no denying that the whole lomography thing is a con though....

I tend to agree; but my view is that if people navigate into film photography from digital, for the first time, then an expensive avenue is as good (to me) as the cheap avenue. A knowledgeable photographer would find a Diana camera at some carboot sale, and get the same effect for just a couple of pounds.

I like the Lomo look, but wouldn't invest in it. I prefer normal cameras with normal prime lenses. But the more the merrier I say.
