Question: What odd camera have you used to great effect!?
I know there is pinhole cameras, and Lomo camera!. My boss bought a cheap Vivitar key chain camera, it uses a AAA battery and turns out odd but pretty pictures that remind me of old polaroids!. What have you used that has been surprisingly good!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Same here--not a camera, but a lens!. I have Nikkor 35 mm f 2!.8 PC!. It's a "shift" lens!. I was able to take photos of buildings where they would normally appear like they were tilting back with this!.

Am thinking about getting the 24 mm one for my Canon!. I hardly think I will use it often to justify it though!.

Recently bought Canon 135 mm f 2!. It's very sharp--but when used at wide open, the depth of field is paper thin!. Click on "all sizes" to see larger one!. http://www!.flickr!.com/photos/little_pook!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not a camera, but a lens!. I picked up a used 28mm f2!.8 manual focus "Sears" lens; made completely out of metal!. It's terrible at f2!.8, f4, and even f5!.6, but at f8, it's flawless!. There is no difference between it and a 28mm Nikkor!. But it's still bad I cannot use it at f2!.8!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I bought a Pentax Optio W10 because it has a cool time lapse mode, but it also happens to be waterproof!. I went to a big spring in Alabama and took some underwater pictures there!. They came out beautiful!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like cheap 6x9 folders!. Great way to get an old-fashioned look to your photography!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
