Holga –  This camera seems to be about as simple as it comes, no adjustment to the shutter speed or fstop and a very braod zoom adjustment.  Also no through the lens viewfinder to be able to see if you have your focus spot on.  Basic plastic design with a plastic lens.  All in all quite a different piece of equipment than that of my Canon dSLR.  But I am excited to try the larger 120 format.  The images I have seen are pretty awesome, and the way that people play to the “downfalls”, i.e. light leaks and vignetting, of this camera to create very distinct and beautiful images is pretty impressive.  I just wonder how many rolls of film I am going to have to shoot before I get some images I want to print.
