  HEY!
  Holga’s are cool! Don’t even call them toys.

  I have quite a few artists-friends that swear by them. One guy even super glued a wide angle lens onto his. Some people even shape the mask at the focal plane to give their negatives a distinctive border.

  Ha!  that’s pretty cool.  I hadn’t heard of them before, but I think it’s hilarious that they seemingly have a cult following.
