And I know how you feel... I use mainly film cameras so I brought my slr out to document a demonstration. Everything was underexposed and blurry cause I was too excited to take pictures than check the settings. :/ The last picture was brilliant!

But I must disagree about your comment concerning the fact that, during long exposures, you need to keep your finger down until the camera finishes the job. In fact, this is a vantage, because keeping your finger down you have less chances of have a shaken image, because, when you lift your finger, its sure that more moviment will be transfered to the camera. Other than that, I appreciated your words a lot, and I just feel more compelled to get one of those lcw ! I enjoyed your article a lot.

By default in full frame mode light can't bleed out of the 35mm film area, when in half frame mode the camera is projecting half a frame of light into a 35mm area, some of the light bleeds out of that area so a mask has to be there to physically stop light shinning out of the half frame mode. Dose that make sense? When you are shooting in half or square frame mode you meant to put a mask inside the camera.

Sure if you want to get original, authentic effects then crack out the film camera. But if you're recording the moment then there's nothing wrong with these post effect filters and an upload to flickr/instagram/facebook/twitter. It's instant and is not supposed to be high art. I've even used these post effects on my DSLR photography to give pictures some faked cross-processing, but I'm under no illusion that if I want a proper film effect, I'll use film. But if I want something now I'll use my phone. I think it’s very easy to criticise apps like Instagram, Hipstamatic and Analog, but I agree they do have their place.

I was reading the above comments, was wondering why switching between HF and FF modes makes the shots bleed into one another? Isn't the film already wound forward (before switching modes for eg)?
