Review: Digital Holga Lens (Canon DSLRs)


This is a brief excerpt from thePhoBlographer




Lomos and Holgas are all the rage now, as digital photography advances ever forward and all users want is to ironically go back to the retro-age. To be fair, I’ve become quite the Lomo and film addict myself since I joined The Phoblographer. Our friends at Photojojo wanted to hook us up with both the luxuries of digital shooting as well as the iconic image results of a Holga camera. The solution: the Digital Holga Lens. Nothing more than the same Holga lens you’d find on the classic plastic camera, the Digital Holga lens lets you mount it on to your Canon or Nikon DSLR for the same lo-fi effect.

Skip on down past the break for our full review with plenty of sample images.


Pros and Cons

Pros

It’s a Holga lens for your DSLR for crying out loud!

Nothing extra, literally plug-and-play

Super cheap at $30 and fun to shoot with

Cons

No electronic anything, duh.

The focus ring is strangely difficult to turn (more so than you’d expect)

If it’s your first Holga, focusing will take time to get use to

Gear Used

Canon T3i and Holga Lens
