Holga HL-C 60mm f/8 Lens for Canon DSLR Camera(Black)

Este lente debe ser usado a manera de diversión y experimentación, la foto tiene viñetado y unos colores retro que me encantan, si te gustan las fotos super definidas y a gran resolución no compres este lente, es mas bien para jugar a tomar fotos y hacer fotos estilo "lomography", tomar fotos en blanco y negro y este lente son una gran combinación.

I am a total noob in the photography world, but always have loved it. I have an upcoming trip to Boston, and fell in love with the idea of doing a film album of it. However, I realized that today film cameras are not the affordable thing they used to be, especially when it boils down to revealing your pictures. I have a Canon Rebel T6 which I’m taking on the trip with me, so I figured I’d give the Holga lens a shot. In my inexperienced-experience, this lens was simple to install and use. It is very lightweight and made out of plastic. It works great in the auto setting which is great for those of us who are not handy with the manual settings. The pictures with flash also look great in my opinion . What I find the most tricky is the focusing aspect, which may not be the lens but just me. I have added some of my practice pictures in this review in case some of you want to see what kind of image can be produced with this lens:)Overall, if you are looking for a fun alternative lens that gives you pictures similar to those family photo albums from the 80’s… then you’ve got yourselves a deal with this one.**UPDATE**You all better buy this lens! I finally went to Boston and I’m so happy with the pictures I took using it. I added some in this review! Very important to play with the settings to get your best shot!!!

Es un lente muy muy obscuro, pero se puede arreglar modeando el lente.

People love to knock this lens. It’s a toy, come on! If you’re into Lo-fi photography but don’t want to hassle with 120 medium format film, this will serve you well. If you’re looking to add to your arsenal of L-series glass, just don’t. You’ll leave a negative review and put people off to a potentially fun lens. I would, however, use only with a cropped sensor body. I have a full-frame Canon and the edges vignette severely. However, the center of the photos are nice, so it takes some editing for me to get sought results. Also, adjusting the focus can mess with the aperture and darken shots. I typically take some test shots to get it right and leave the lens alone, only adjusting shutter and ISO. So for this price, just pull the trigger. You’ll get your money’s worth.

Holga has a reputation for weird quirks and optical issues, and this lens is no different. I purchased it specifically for the holga look, and it delivers just that. Poor contrast, barely passable center sharpness, non-existent corner sharpness, as well as heavy vignetting leaves a lot to desire in this lens yet it is the reason I got it. The look is undeniably unique, and while I wouldn’t go and use this for any professional work, it is definitely an interesting hobby lens.I adapted it onto my Sony a7RIV which definitely didn’t help the resolution issues but I found the results extremely satisfying. Overall it is a great lens with a unique look for only $20 dollars and if you are looking for something to play around with it is easy to adapt over to mirrorless.
