Get a Hasselblad 500c/m with an 80mm Zeiss lens and a 120 back.
You can find that kit for about 900-1,000 USD.
Take slides, project them and awe your friends. :)
More 'snaps' than maybe carefully posed ones but I like them anyway :-)
Camera: Hasselblad 500c/m, 80mm Zeiss
Film: Tmax in b&w and Provia 100F when colour.

Thanks for the comments.
No PS on number one. It was a very bright background and water and I spotmetered on the pole using another old camera (Olympus 35SP).
The light in the fence photo is actually not PS but the headlights from my Jeep that I turned on. The sky however is desaturated.
When I got my Leica M3 earlier this year I took it out for a test-shoot in SF and came upon the SF Gay Pride Parade.
Took 20-something shots.
Summicron 50/2.0
Fuji Acros or Fuji Neopan film.
Yellow 1/2 stop filter.
