Our local art gallery had some Holgas for sale and some similar
(quality) other cameras like Lomo and tin can pinhole. The Holgas had
a price tag of about $110Cdn. I passed. :-)
I've seen interesting photos taken with them, but here again is the
proof that the equipment does not make (or hold back) the photograph.
