Check http://www.freestylephoto.biz/e_main.php, I don't know if they sell 'kits", but they might..
Good Luck!

I know this sounds dumb... but

May I know what's the difference between Lomo and Holga? They're technically the same?

The Lomo only shoots 35mm film.
And it has a few more controls, more shutter speeds and f/stops, I believe.
Plus, the Lomo costs way more than a Holga.
I think they go for about $150, for that you could buy five to 10 Holgas!

Ive heard and seen that you can buy Polaroid backs for the Holgas. Im really very interested in doing this. Does anyone know where you can buy one? Ive looked everywhere.

I would recommend you look at www.holgamods.com for a Polaroid back.
They aren't being made anymore, from what I understand and Randy is doing what he does to them so they work with a Holga.
Good Luck!

I dont know, im not big on the whole professional film developing, its incredibly expensive, and from what ive experianced, it never turns out well...How expensive/ difficult is it to just develope your own?

Black and white developing is not costly and is a straght forward process. But color you have to be more precise with the timing and temperature, and there are many more solutions and steps ( and chemicals). Unless you plain on scanning the color negatives, no digital color printing is an artform! I never could afford a color head for my enlarger. I my self find the labs do a good job of developing the film, the problem is their printing!
