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?

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.

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.

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.

I like cheap 6×9 folders. Great way to get an old-fashioned look to your photography.
