Review on Holga HL C Canon Camera Black by Patrick Arnautov

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fun toy, use with crop sensor for best results.

People love this lens. It's a toy, come on! If you're interested in lo-fi photography but don't want to mess around with medium format 120 film, this camera will serve you well. If you're looking to add L-Series glass to your arsenal, just don't. They will leave negative feedback and turn people away from a potentially fun lens. I would only use it with a cropped sensor housing though. I have a full frame cannon and the edges vignette a lot. The photo center is nice though, so I need to do some editing to get the desired results. Also, adjusting the focus can ruin the aperture and darken the images. I usually take a few test shots to get it right and leave the lens alone, just adjusting the shutter speed and ISO. So just pull the trigger for this price. You will justify your money.

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • Available in white only
