Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lomographic Holga Starter Kit
Customer Review: lovely
Summary: 5 Stars
after spending MONTHS reading different reviews and asking friends that are into photography about which camera would work for me...i decided on the holga120cfn. if you're absolutely tired of digital photography and interested in experimenting with something else a little more creative, then i would highly recommend this camera. it's cheap, easy to use, and after a few rolls of film you'll get the hang of it. you definitely have to learn to give up all control and let the camera do the magic.
this kit comes with absolutely everything you need to start out with. the book it comes with is full of lovely pictures, but i'm sure most of the cost of this kit is in the book itself.
i bought the 35mm backing for it so it would be a little cheaper to experiment with 35mm film rather than 120. if you need to save some money, i would say to do the same. have fuuuunnn!
Customer Review: Great, easy and fun camera.

At first I was apprehensive buying a Holga. I have only ever used Minolta X-700 SLR's and Maxxum AF SLR's. The images I have seen from Holgas seemed to have so much more depth and soul, so I ordered one for myself. I had seen these on display at a high-priced clothing store at the mall that also sells vintage items. I was intrigued but they wanted twice the price for the starter kit. When I looked it up on Amazon.com I was surprised at what I thought was the great value of the starter kit. I am only disappointed because my kit did not include the roll of color film or the batteries. Other people have mentioned these items missing from their box as well. Otherwise I would rate this a great deal compared to brick and mortar stores in my city. Film and batteries are relatively cheap. The book that comes with the kit is inspiring and full of beautiful photos made with this humble toy camera.Customer Review: worth every penny!

a friend of mine and i were talking about how much we wanted holgas but couldn't find them... so when i saw this on here i immediately bought two kits, one for me and one for her.
and YES IT COMES WITH THE CAMERA. i just wanted to say that. but the whole package is great! comes with film, batteries, a poster extolling the virtues of lomography, a mini-handbook for the camera itself, incredibly easy to use. and what i think really makes the package is the "HOLGA - life through a plastic lens" book, with Holga enthusiasts, experts and aficionados giving you tips and sharing their images. Such a charming book, breathtaking pictures, and inspiring because it shows you what this cheap little thing is capable of. and they also give you cool little tricks for modifying the camera and different effects you can get and so on. so... yeah.
Buy it!
Customer Review: Holga Kit 829 comes WITHOUT FILM OR BATTERIES!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this Holga Starter Kit and when it arrived I was missing the 120 format film and 2 AA batteries...
I called Amazon and a replacement kit was sent out, I printed out a return label and sent that kit back (Great Customer Service).
So I get the new kit and same items are missing no film or batteries...
This is Kit 829 which comes WITHOUT FILM OR BATTERIES!
What is misleading is the photo they chose to display for this kit... which shows the batteries and film.
B&H has the Kit with Film and Batteries for $69.95 (Holga Starter Kit 828)
Amazon: 5 Stars for Customer Service, 1 Star for misleading photo
Holga Kit: 5 Stars Kit 829 with WITHOUT FILM OR BATTERIES.
Give myself 1 Star for not reading the reviews first.
Customer Review: This Camera Rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
I went out on a limb buying this camera. My friend has a fisheye camera and I thought that was cool, so I googled it, and then discovered the Holga and the Diana cameras. I looked at countless pictures taken with the cameras and decided I wanted part of the double exposure club.
It is so exciting waiting for the pictures to be developed and the pictures have come out great so far, really interesting...I tried using 35mm film and the pics didn't turn out right so don't waste your time trying that trick. Skip 35mm modifications altogether and stick to 120!
I love my Holga and recommend this camera for anyone who is looking to jazz up their photographic journey thru life. I use a digital but whenever I bring out the Holga everyone wants to know what the heck it is and want to play with her.
