Customer Service is great, got the package as expected. Great company to work with.
My only complaint is the hassle of loading and unloading the film and the cheap feel to it, but then again it's a 'toy' camera so I guess that's part of the experince. The color flash adds another spin to an already fun camera.
I've had a few pictures published in magazines and I've even had some embassies buy my work. There are days when my photography feels like work and kind of stresses me out.
I've been seriously into photography since 1999. My best personal photo's have come from a Holga and it was all when I was just flipping away and not worrying too much about the composition of the shot or the exposure.
Well I've found my little fix for days like that. The Holga camera's are perfect for fun photography.
I love to use the flash in the daytime up close to my subjects (The blue flash on the beach gives an awesome feel to a photo). I recomend this (more so with the 35mm version) to anyone just looking to bring fun back into their photography.
My main point in writing this review is that you can get this camera for much, much cheaper by buying it used or elsewhere.The Holga is fun and I know many people who swear by it. So have fun. While I personally have never been extremely into lomography/"plastic fantastic" cameras, if you are this is a good camera and the advantage of using medium format film is wonderful. Also there are scores of websites that will tell you all the ways you can modify your Holga. But seriously, there's almost no reason why not to buy this item used. I would not pay more than $20 for it.
The camera is fine. Amazon service sucks. I tried several times to cancel this order because I found it cheaper on another site, and although your website says I can cacel anytime prior to shipment, it kept me in the never ending loop without giving me the ability to actually cancel it. You SUCK.
These camera's are great for enthusiasts. I gifted my roomate this one for christmas (as I already own one, and she borrows it from time to time). We are both photo majors, and it's easy to get swept up in new technology. Sometimes its benificial to go back to your roots ;)
