Photo peoples! I'm seriously thinking of getting a medium format "toy camera". Holga or Diana?

Also, I got my first-ever subpoena! I get to am ordered to testify before the Grand Jury in my dad's car-theft case. Think they'll let me bring a camera in the courthouse? What if it's all-plastic?

I think my cousin had a Diana. She said it was fun.

Oh, and if you want something weird to play with, I have an ancient Kodak "pocket camera" from the 19-teens that I thrifted a few years ago. It can take 120, and is kind of fun, though I don't think I ever shot more than a couple of rolls with it. The bellows probably needs to be taped up, but the lenses are actually reasonably good.

I'd say holga because you can manipulate the film in sooo many ways (especially if you are developing it yourself).

How do you like the Holga?

Ya, but I admit that I am L A Z Y about getting the 120 developed because my local places in OC didn't develop it and mailing it out was expensive. There is an adapter I want to get for 35 mm:

What I really want right now is a rangefinder!
