Review: Fun little lens. - I love this little lens. It's super fun to shoot with, it's pretty sturdy, and looks good.
Review: Plastic Lens on a Big Bucks Camera, Go Figure! - This lens is a lot of fun. It takes me back to my photography days about 40+ years ago. Plastic cameras to take on vacation. Now I'm back into photography with a vengeance, so I had to add this to my collection. I even have a Holga Filter Wheel coming from Hong Kong. I have enough lenses to shoot the norm, but I like being able to be more creative. That's why I'm into Lensbaby's also. This lens has a 60mm focal length, but with my crop sensor camera with a multiplier of 1.6x, I now have a 96mm focal length. So on to picture taking. Surprisingly it takes good pictures. The pictures are slightly soft, but it IS a plastic lens. At f/8 this lens is better used outdoors or in good light. Remember, this lens is manual. There is no pressing the preview button to view the shot. Also, the aperture ring is stiff to turn. Set it to infinity and forget it ;-). I have taken around 100 shots of desert landscapes, sunsets and sunsets reflecting on the mountains before posting this review. What I have learned is that I need to look at my histogram more. ;-). Lots of my shots are overexposed, but what I have learned is that because it is a plastic lens, you can capture sun bursts. Chromatic aberrations; neat effect. My proud picture is of a sunset reflecting on the mountains. With the slightly soft effect and the vignetting, this picture wasn't even considered for post-processing. For this kind of money, how could you go wrong. 5 stars for fun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You expect very little, and boyyyyy do you get it
*by B***S on February 13, 2013*

Okay, let's be honest here. From most carriers an iPhone 4 is free with contract, and Instagram is a free download. For your $25, you are giving a fairly expensive camera the ability to take ridiculously bad pictures that a cell phone cam, even on its worst day, can't lowball. But that's why you're considering a Holga lens to begin with, right? This obviously isn't an everyday shooting lens. The fixed aperture is very small, small enough to render the viewfinder almost but not quite useless. The focus mechanism is rudimentary and feels like panning on a cheap tripod. The build quality is... Chinese. And I don't mean "built-to-someone-else's-spec-with-dubious-labor-practices" Chinese; I mean "the stuff you find in the toy aisle at the dollar store" Chinese. "Crap" is the term we are going with here. Even disposables take better pictures than this. It's not so much a prime lens as a "grade D but edible" lens. But again, that's the point. The whole Lomography mentality, slickly marketed as it is, is to make the most out of intentionally substandard equipment. It's a constrained art form, very close to found art and musique concrete in its conception, and if all you want to do is play with it, this is the perfect way to get started. The pictures are obviously a bit fuzzy; the vignetting on an APS-C sensor is pretty soft (although I hear it's actually a little excessive on a full-frame sensor), and the focus capability just isn't that precise. As a video lens, it gives the impression of a dream sequence or a piece of slightly-deteriorated film dubbed onto a cheap VHS cassette. Because of the small aperture, it doesn't do low light well at all; you'll definitely want to use an external flash for any indoor shots. And the markings could be better -- the focus marker and mount guide mark are easily confused. So... after all is said and done, if you know what you're ordering, this lens delivers exactly what you expect from a Holga product. It's not out of the realm of possibility that you might prefer to do this kind of thing in post, which is a reasonably sensible approach, but I find with my personal work that if I don't set up the effects I want to use beforehand, I won't usually get to them later. So if you want to play with the toy camera aesthetic, this is as good a way as any to get into it.
