46. The Holga look in HD...
1 year ago
A Holga camera is a cheap plastic (medium format) film camera made in China. I have one and I like it a lot, but medium film and the limits of film in general makes it a very slow process to work with.

So, about 18 months ago, I found a website that sold Holga lenses that could be mounted on a Canon EOS digital camera: holgamods.com

I got one for my Canon 30D which made getting a Holga look a much easier process.

Today I needed something to 'play with' and put the Holga lens on my Letus just to have some fun. The lens itself is just a piece of plastic, so the look is... well, lets say 'Made in China' :)

I threw in some Magic Bullet Looks and some 'old school' music. It is what it is - hope you like it...

    Great stuff. I love lomography ;)
    Untill today I always thougt it was russian shit.
    I've wanted to buy a complete package once with a holga, horizon and several other lomo products but the fact it does not take normal 35mm film on all of its products scared me off.

    I think most of the Lomography stuff is Russian and as far as I remember, the Holga comes with instructions on how you can use 35mm film in it.

    Russia have enough good materials to not do bodies in plastic.

    where on their website is this holga mount
  • [ PIXEL VIKING ] plus 8 months ago
    Letus don't have a Holga mount, if that's what you mean.

    On holgamods.com you choose EOS mount or other depending on the mount you use on your adapter...

    Scroll down to 'HOLGA DIGITAL BODY CAP LENSES'.

    Wow - this is awesome! So if I get a a Holga lens adapted for a Nikon mount, it'll work on the Nikon mount (AI) on my Letus Mini? Is that correct? (Sorry if that seems like a really stupid question...)
