Graininess, soft texture, depth of field and a sense of adventure -  
press the trigger and you've no idea what you're getting - no finder,  
no screen can give you a preview so you're shooting blind. Also the  
knowledge that you (or in my case, someone I know) made the lens in  
half an hour for less than two dollars and it WORKS!
Strangely, it could be done with a normal lens but you never quite  
seem to get the same images if you try. You could plan it and it  
would be sharp and then you'd have to PS the softness in and somehow  
it wouldn't be the same. The Oly Art Filter called pinhole (is it  
still?) was just a smear and vignette filter - nothing like the real  
thing.
