So, I just returned from chicago and the verdict... I love my Holga. I was sitting in a pizza shop and I had both my holga and my nikon d100.... a guy walked by and noticed the d100 and stopped to talk and was surprised that I had a holga too... it was great *smile* He was as impressed by the holga as he was by the nikon. The holga was so much fun to use too... no pressure about the settings or the focus or anything... I just focused on the elements in the pic... it was a nice break and Kevin liked carrying around the nikon because it made him look "professional" *smiles*

And if you tape the holes on the holga, than does it matter if the paper backing on the 220 doesn't go all the way through the roll?

Oh and Megan... you won't get mugged in St. Louis... *smile* It's not that bad... honest... it's East St. Louis that's scary.
