Your results are actually quite close to the actual Holga... Everyone says it's a bad lens. It looks to me like it's performing exactly how it's supposed to.

you mean "Badly"??

HOLGA THREAD REVIVAL

Profoto in nuclear mode camera left; my assistant and GF:

Your GF is attractive.. but I don't think this shows that. More the opposite... at least for my tastes!

Is David Burnett a hipster?

Nope... he's too old. He grew up in the era of film.

Really? I always thought it was more a state of mind, than age! Especially since many of us older folk were "HIP" long before these young copycats came along.....

"Gotta have "Flair" to be a hipster!"

I love this. It made me laugh

I'm so curious on how it went after a few more tries. Please post some more

I don't get the need for an actual Holga lens? As their are presets I can use that do the same?

Is there something I'm missing about having an actual Holga lens? Sorry don't know much about them myself and was curious. As could use any lens then just apply a Holga preset in lightroom seems would give more flexibility?
