Over the past 12 months I have read an increasing number of blogs discussing Holga cameras. All of the posts sung praise to the plastic lensed joy they felt. I have always dismissed the Holga as a lazy gimmick to create a stylistic look to images. Of course at $50 it may even be thought of as disposable fun for an otherwise bored day.
Today I spotted something even farther from genius. Why not buy the lens from a Holga and fit it to your DSLR? http://www.holgamods.com/xt/xt.html
I’m going to save myself the money in a simple manner. I’m going to dig out the 18-55mm kit lens and smear it at random with vaseline.
