Buy a $10 filter off any camera shop together with some fine sandpaper and sand off the surface of the filter.

you tried this before?

I will be going to Tokyo this coming June and would really love to take such dreamy washed-out photos while I'm there. Please let me know what technique, camera, film/slide or accessories I would require in order to achieve such an effect!

Ermm... The photos aren't exactly what I would call great or high quality.

In any case, you can always use Photoshop to get that effect. Else, it's really a matter of deliberately degrading your image quality.

Hah, I'm still here! I was thinking of purchasing a Holga to give it a try!
