A total piece of fudge plastic lens -- the actual lens, not the casing, as in, the eyeball part of it is plastic. You focus by turning the front, you're actually unscrewing it to bring the two elements further apart. I accidentally took the front completely off last night twice trying to focus. Most of these shots are between 2 and 4 seconds' exposure, ISO anywhere between 100 and 1600 but usually around 400 or 800. Obviously, there's no way to know what's "right" for this lens, so I would take about 12 shots from the same tripod setup, tweaking it each time until the LCD looked like I got something cool. Usually the last shot was the one I kept. Imagine how much film was wasted in real Holgas!
The Holga a total garbage camera that sometimes makes for really striking pictures. And this modded version for my DSLR is such a cool piece to add to the camera kit.

interesting i did not even now they made those
however IMO you would have been better off buying a real Holga, you get a medium format neg and the affects are much more dramatic
mmmm Beer

Anyone get new toys for xmas?
Playing with the new Nikon 35mm 1.8 @1.8 to get a sense of the depth of field. It's pretty damn shallow.
