I always lusted after a T90 when I had my A1's and AE1's. Perhaps it's time to get one? They are now 1/2 the price I paid. I would call that a bargain. Mickey

Good point The ( unfortunate ) thing though is, that young people do not even know, that it is possible to take very good pictures on film. The lomography movement was basically NOT born as an alternative to classic film photography, people of the digital generation where searching for a new look and alternative to the always same and perfect looking digital pictures. However, I can understand your feeling very well, Mickey. What looks totally crappy, is at least art ... seems to be the attitude behind most of the pretty awful looking pictures. The positive thing, I see is just the fact, that this lomography movement keeps film alive. New released films and analog cameras, while big companies like Kodak gave up on film. I don't own any of those toy cameras, but without them, film would probably have already disappeared from this planet BTW, I had my first own photo exhibition here in Tokyo last week. My theme: Looking to the present through the eyes of the past. I wanted to show ( especially young ) people, that pictures, taken with analog film cameras ( even hundred years old ) do not look "vintage" at all. That's my mission and people from the young generation are surprised ... because they don't know any better.

No, it was a real "analog" one, where people need to go there for watching pictures, hanging on a wall. I asked my wife first, if that wouldn't be a little bit old-fashioned nowadays, but she said, people are still doing that ... and I ( mostly ) listen to my wife It was an interesting experience and maybe important to really communicate with real people coming there and explaining this and that to them. I just didn't like the fact, that pictures are always printed from a digital scan meanwhile, even if they are originally taken on film. So much of a loss on the way from the camera to the paper Pictures do look much better on a computer screen than on those crappy prints.
