The looks I can get with old turn of the century lenses is not possible with today's newer equipment.

I have an old Ihagee Exacta that I inherited from my grandfather that I feel the same about.  Only have used it for landscapes so far, but I might take it out and shoot some people with it.

I have two Holga's  one I've outfitted with a PC connection to shot in the studio but recently I acquired a Holga lens for my Nikon digital.  Seems an interesting combination.  I get the Holga looks but don't have to find a lab still developing 120 film.

The great thing about Holgas is their hot-shoe so you can just stick your pocket wizards right on top and fire away.

I've been considering this, but it seems to me that you lose one of the more unique qualities of film, namely grain.
