That's right,
I own 3 different Canon models, from Digital Rebel to 5D, a bunch of lenses, bags full of other accessories.

Now i got something different :twisted:

from $1,000, to $1,500, to $3,000, to..... $19.99

from 1.6x, to 1.6x, to full frame, to... medium format

I bought this Holga and a couple accessories for it, and I have to admitt I'm just as excited about getting it as I was about getting my 5D. I've been wanting to get a pinhole camera, or lens for a while now.

Can't wait to get my hands on some tri-x film and shoot some square format shots :D

Sorry, I just wanted to share my excitement :)

Holgas are so much fun. I use a changing bag to swap film in the field.

So what is this some sort of toy camera or is the Holga a proper camera? The local book store here sells these little fisheye cameras. They look like toys but take proper fisheye pics.


7D and lenses.

They are cheap plastic things, but with the proper mods they can take produce awesome results. This particular one has a fixed lens, 60mm. It's wide angle, not fisheye though.

why would you need a changing bag to change film out on a holga?

I'm not the best with that roll film. Sure there are light leaks in the camera but I don't want to cause any extra with my clumsy attempts to seal the film up.
