Holga, what a lovely piece of cr*p :) June 13, 2007 Gheorghe Chistol (Berkeley, CA) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is a lovely piece of plastic that allows you to do photography in the worst possible way, and the best possible way at the same time. I got three, one for a friend, one for another friend and one for me. It's true, I haven't gotten a good photo yet, but I haven't tried hard enough.
What I expected. August 15, 2007 p2y2r7o (Greenville, SC USA) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The camera is exactly what I expected. Everything seems to work right, though I haven't had my first roll developed yet. It's all plastic, seems to be tough...came with a neck strap too. I bought the camera to modify into a pinhole camera, which I haven't done yet.
Great Camera January 9, 2008 Porsche (San Jose, CA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is perhaps one of the funnest lomo cameras to use. I have a couple dislikes, though. (1) The back film door tends to come off due to the loose sliding clasps meant to keep it on. I'm not sure if the film used in these cameras is damaged by light, but I assume it is, and thus this can be a frustrating dilemma. I have taped mine shut and abandoned using the clips. (2) It's quite difficult to find someone to develop the film used in this camera. A fun but moderately annoying camera.
just what i expected April 1, 2007 Camera Geek (USA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I guess it's just that -- just what I expected. I love the Holga, but it's for fun and the unexpected, doesn't serve the same purpose as my Nikon D50. :)
Awesome camera (just make sure you are outdoors) September 30, 2007 Mark Twain 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This camera produces stunningly artistic photos when used outdoors in adequate light. Indoors it is virtually worthless, unless you use a flash. (It took me a little while to find an old flash that would sync right with this, incidentally; my $300 Nikon flash wouldn't work with it) Anyway this is actually made very well and I think made better than the Lomo LC-A, and I like the pictures from this better than the pictures from the $150-$200 Lomo LC-A.
