What Buyers Say
HOLGA HL-C 60mm
The Holga lens for Canon DSLRs is a fun, inexpensive way to achieve the classic lo-fi Holga aesthetic on digital cameras. Users love the dreamy, retro look and ease of use, but note significant vignetting on full-frame sensors and an actual aperture much slower than the advertised f/8. The lens is best suited for crop-sensor cameras and those who enjoy experimental, imperfect photography.
