It costs 24.99 on Holga Direct, but 12.99 to 18.99 on eBay so i ordered it from eBay to save some coin. It's such a cheap toy lens that it could be fun to play with. It's a manual 60mm f8 lens so i'll probably only use it for studio, street and sunny days w/ the 5D. I'm MARLON

I totally see the point of shooting with a Holga for fun because of the colour shifts, distortions and light leaks...but this is just a low-contrast, soft lens...big whoopee haha -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-

I've tried playing about with one in PP and the results are still dreadful. David
