For those who like Holga photography. Now you can go digital with your Nikon DSLR and a plastic Holga lens.

Similar lens is available for you with Canon equipment.

I've been eyeing one of them myself. Were those pics with a crop body, or FF?

with a crop, 40D... its a lot of fun so far and I'm not regretting getting it by any means.

Long-exposure with it:

Was going to call this "Big bad wolf in Toronto..."

But i need to run post on this a bit first ;)

I've been reading that there wouldn't be enough vignetting on crop. Apparently it's not much of a "problem".

I'm going to have to go check them out and try it on my film bodies.

Thanks for the offer, but I have a feeling it won't fit on my D80/F80/FE2.

Finally got one!

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ofermod/5935335337/" title="Untitled by ofermod, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6134/5935335337_f6ffc68619.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt=""></a>

And the fisheye adaptor:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ofermod/5935889872/" title="Untitled by ofermod, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6027/5935889872_d4d19cc54b.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt=""></a>

And on full frame (blackness makes it tricky to see how much of the full frame it really takes up):

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ofermod/5935900464/" title="Untitled by ofermod, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6030/5935900464_0d29ac5e54.jpg" width="500" height="475" alt=""></a>

Had too much fun with the fisheye, don't have a good full frame example without it right now.

So.. the point of this lens is to make you remember what your pictures looked like when you were 10?
