Holga Thread (its not about the body, but the LENS!) post up

I'm confused, Holga Suggestion 8(d) states: "ALWAYS try to shoot a picture in a direction with the sun or light source behind the camera"!?

You get more cute "Flare" that way, darling! Gotta have "Flair" to be a hipster! :lmao:

How are you going to catch Flare with the sun behind the camera?

It has way more vignetting than I thought it would, I was looking at buying that a couple weeks ago :er:

OOps... misread that! Sorry! lol! I read it backwards.. <blush>! I was too busy trying to think up smarta$$ comments.. and didn't read the whole thing! There.. Ya HAPPY? :greenpbl:

Ok, I've discovered it can be a little soft and has some "very very slight and unpredictable" vignetting under bright studio lighting

YOU SIMPLY MUST TELL ME WHO THIS FOXY BLONDE IS!!!!! And does she have a seeeee-ster???

Hey Big Guy.. back off! She is My Sweetie.... (you don't want her sister.. she is Skanky Barbie! Thier mom is Trailer Park Barbie!)

This lens is terrible. :lmao:

Definitely. A local photographer showed me some model shots he did with his on his canon and they blow me away. Its like the lady is "consumed" in the white cloud behind her. I'm thinking the lens isn't as bad as I am.

I'm determined to put some studio light behind a model and get a pic like my friend did with this #$%^ing lens hehe

Dude, you have to drill some holes in your D700 to get those Holga light leaks. That's what's been missing in all of these.

It'll be tricky to drill a hole or two where it will puncture the mirror box and miss the wiring/circuit boards ... but I'm sure you can figure it out.

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.

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