I got this book to give to my wife along with a Holga for her to play with. She got some really cool shots with hers and this book provided some nice ideas for things to do that we might not have thought of. I thought it was great. Fun book, fun cameras!

I really enjoyed this book and as an avid pinhole photographer it inspired me to play with some of my Diana Cameras and Diana clones for some new image making. Great photos, good sharing of ideas and an overall enjoyable read. Some good ideas were given for adapting toy cameras. Great image making to you all-Chuck Flagg

If you own a Holga, Diana, Blackbird Fly or any other plastic camera, this book will really get the juices flowing. Fantastic photography, great tips on use and modification. There is also a section on toy digital cameras.
She goes into great detail on how to set up and use your Holga, discussion on various film type, and a reminder that Holga cameras DO FLOAT, made me laugh.
This book should be included with every plastic camera, if you are buying a plastic camera for someone, they will need this book.
Although I own a very nice DSLR, I also own 3 1/2 Holga's, a Diana and am looking to purchase a BBF this year.
