I've always been a bit bemused by what seems to be a relatively recent trend in photojournalism of using 'retro' techniques and cameras - Holgas, 5x4, Lensbabies...
It is I suppose, as much a symptom of digital disruption as any other (along with the tendency for photojournalism to retreat into elitism), but why re-invent the wheel, when you can have the jetpack?
Or better still, why not just use the best of both?
