<< If the dream-like quality is the result 
 of poor optics, then all you need do is use filters, gels, or vasoline 
 on great equipment to duplicate the effect. If it is the result of poor 
 metering, then over or under expose your film. There isn't anything 
 that a $13 Holga can do that a $6,000 Hasselblad couldn't do just 
 as "poorly". >>

Ah, yes.  But look at how much you have to DO to get those desired "poor" 
results.  More and more these days, camera users appreciate getting the 
results they want with equipment that does it all for them.  So if it's 
dreamy (blurry), high-key (badly exposed) results you want, why not go for 
the most sophisticated, do-it-all-for-you equipment you can find.  
Personally, I'd go for a pinhole in an oatmeal box.  The results will be even 
more certain than with the Holga.  Unless of course you actually ENJOY 
handling your Hassie with fingers full of grease!
