The "BEST, WORST LENS" in the Universe

Well, here it is. No, I won't sell it. It is so bad that when wanting to close focus, the lens unscrews and literally falls out of it's housing

I love it

Viva la HOLGA!!!!

That seems like it should be the kit lens.

I would sell my entire lens set for that boy right there...

HA! now I see why the Holga is legendary

maxwell1295 · 05-21-2008, 08:47 AM

Did you buy the whole camera or just the lens?

ftpaddict · 05-21-2008, 08:49 AM

A K-mount Holga lens. Nice.

The picture quality reminds me of a mustard jar. Or the EF-S 18-55.
