Buying a Holga is like a box of chocolates "you'll never know what you are gonna get". My Holga broke a long time ago so I bought a new one. This one seems harder to get a good picture. The plastic lens seems a bit blurry. :/ This is due to the fact that every Holga is different. Be sure and take about 3 rolls and to tests with all of the settings before you waste a lot of film trying to figure it out.

Good price, compared to local vendors. The Lomographic Holga Starter Kit a good package for getting into Holga style photography. Many creative technics described in the "World through a plastic lens" booklet included with the kit.

Very fun to point and "expose" with, because of the unexpected exposure effects made possible with the plastic lens and the manual features (e.g. can create a vignette look). One major downside to the plastic (cheap-looking) camera is that the sidebars holding the back cover get loose and slide easily (one remedy that can hold them in place involve some tape and velcro...). The flash filters are handy in creating some mad effect on contrast and color schemes. The electric tape can be used to prevent light leaks. The book features some techniques and a lot of pictures. If you're looking for something that will give you "certainty" in knowing exactly how your pictures will turn out, try a digital camera. If you're looking for something that give you greater control for depth of field and shutter speed, try a traditional, manual SLR. If you like experimenting with alternative exposure techniques (e.g. masking and multiple exposures) as well as camera modifications, and are open to being surprised by what the camera captures, try this one.

At first I was apprehensive buying a Holga. I have only ever used Minolta X-700 SLR's and Maxxum AF SLR's. The images I have seen from Holgas seemed to have so much more depth and soul, so I ordered one for myself. I had seen these on display at a high-priced clothing store at the mall that also sells vintage items. I was intrigued but they wanted twice the price for the starter kit. When I looked it up on Amazon.com I was surprised at what I thought was the great value of the starter kit. I am only disappointed because my kit did not include the roll of color film or the batteries. Other people have mentioned these items missing from their box as well. Otherwise I would rate this a great deal compared to brick and mortar stores in my city. Film and batteries are relatively cheap. The book that comes with the kit is inspiring and full of beautiful photos made with this humble toy camera.
