Thread: Holga anyone?

I just bought myself a holga from Hong Kong for €26 euros ! Ive always wanted to try one. Has anyone ever used one? Ive used a holga lens on my GF1 but I dont think its quite the same.

cool shots! loved my diana and my holga even though they now get little play

I have a few plastics although I do not use them very much

These are beautiful Holga shots. Most of the ones I have seen are just of appallingly bad quality, but these are wonderful!

Cheers,

Holga is a cheap kind of fun, good to see you are enjoying yours. I have a 120N with all the lenses. Also have the adapter for use on my DSLR.

I have a Holga but I never use it :( If I'm in the mood for some film action, I try to get the best quality possible and use my FD-mount Canons or my Canonet.

Loved my Diana camera back in 1975...still have one of my favorite prints ever hanging on my wall...

Nikki, I think that either you or Andy Sony NEX C3 with cheapie Holga plastic lens need to start up a Holga Image Thread over in the Herman's Genre forum.

I have one in Blue have used it but rarely now because of the developing issue (not quick enough) so use to immediate viewing, pathetic really.
And yes I do remember the days of 35mm film well.

I think the photos I posted are better due to the GF1 that this lens was on ! I feel like I was cheating somehow it will be interesting to see what the PURE film one is like !

Nikki I just ordered that lens for my E-PL1/2's, thanks for the heads up!
Your images are lovely BTW
