Has anybody heard of the Holga cam?

A Holga is a cheap camera with a plastic lens. The plastic lens doesn't make for high quality photos, but it produces an interesting-looking artistic effect. Holga's make for a lot of "happy accident" photos- where you just snap away and sometimes you will get something that looks really awesome that you didn't intend to do. An alternative to the Holga for SLR cameras is a Lensbaby. You can read more about Lensbabies and see some example images here: http://www.quazen.com/Arts/Photography/Special-Effect-Photography-with-a-Lensbaby.296951 It's not quite the same as a Holga, but Lensbabies get compared to Holgas A LOT. And with Lensbabies' new Optic Swap System, you can put a plastic lens in your Lensbaby to closer achieve the effect of a Holga. I personally prefer Lensbabies to Holgas because you can use them with digital cameras. Holgas can be real hit or miss, and you end up developing a lot of photos that you really don't like. Also, darkroom chemicals are really bad for the environment. So if you want similar artistic photos with the convenience of a digital camera, get a Lensbaby!
