For circa 500$. What opinions? JMB <<<< Don't do it. The general consensus by now is that this lens is an overhyped piece of junk with performance below the standards set by the Holga. I had one and got rid of it - I threw it away because I couldn't justify morally selling on such a waste of bayonet space. This person is clearly trying to defraud you. Such behaviour cannot be tolerated. If you send me his address/telephone number off list I'll give him a good tongue-lashing. Rob.
