I travelled to Newcastle on the train a few days ago. I used the Holga camera along with some black and white film that I’d had for years and that was also out of date. Now, I’ve used out of date film before and it’s always been fine, but I these photos didn’t come out that well and I think the main reason is the lack of care I gave the film. Another factor which I’m sure didn’t help, was dropping the Holga and the back falling off! - Luckily that only happened on one of the two films and seemed to only negatively impact 3 or 4 shots in the middle of that film.
There are a few more shots on Flickr including some cross procesed images taken with a Vivitar wide angle 35mm camera (which is also a cheap toy camera) and a couple of digital ones taken with the D50.
I should be getting two more films back soon - one from the Geocache and another black and white film from the vivitar camera - that film was an ISO 3200 black and white film so I’m quite interested to see how that turns out. I’ll post anything that’s worth posting when I get them back.

Very cool! Didn't know you picked up a Holga. My photography teacher and friend picked one up. It's a great little camera and I love the 120 format.
I've got the newly re-released Diana medium format camera on my christmas wishlist.
