Holgas are held in the highest regard by all one and all but this arty
person likes to hold up a single element Brownie as the holy super low tech
grail in his workflo when it flos in that general direction.
What I like about Brownies is they were just trying to be cheap and
accessible to the multitudes. They were not trying to be funky. I'm sorry
but I it kid of seems to me that the guys who made to Holga kind of went out
of there way to have those edge soft artifacts in it. That kind of rubs me
the wrong way just a bit. So I never actually got one. I just used all kinds
of Brownies.  Many I got for five bucks. Like the ones I first used like my
first can second cameras.
They're gorgeous. Fun. And you just click the shutter its amazing you ever
get a picture. But you usually do.
