when we were in boston two weeks ago, my father-in-law gave me his old polaroid spectra system which includes a really big, bulky remote control attachment and five filters(!): motion (making the left side of the photo blurry), red center spot, starburst, multi-image 3, multi-image 5 - and you can combine them.
the film for it is a little hard to find and expensive, luckily the Ritz next to Whole Foods had one double pack left. I've taken a couple of photos, but not used the filters yet. Actual film has a certain physical quality that I miss when I use digital. i wonder if i still remember how to develop a roll of film. oh, that chemical smell.
so, now i've got a spectra, a Holga, a canon eos SLR 35mm, and my pretty panasonic lumix with leica lens (mmmmm....optical zoom)
current mood: pleased
current noise: phillies vs dodgers game (welcome back Victorino - we just need Utley and Hamels back)

i'm jealous! let's see some pictures with the polaroid (and the holga!). there's bunches of groups you can join on flickr for those cameras too.
