    Just ordered my first ever.....HOLGA!

    Yes, its true.

    I just ordered my first modified Holga, and I'm already as giddy as a kid in a toy store. Fun!

    I can't wait for it to arrive.

    My husband can't believe that I would buy a toy camera, but afterall - he is not a photographer!


    As far as film goes, I'm leanimg toward B&W and Ilford. Ahhhh. buying film again...

    Hi Kathy,
    It's so good to see you around. Did you ever check out the Canon 24-105 "L" IS lens? It's an awesome lens.

    Now a Holga! I'm surprised! But yes, they are a fun camera. A few of our regulars here have them so we get to see some nice shots quite often.

    Enjoy! and post some of your pictures when you get the camera. BTW, Ilford is my favorite b&w film. It's awesome.

    You Go Kathy!
    Glad you bought it from www.holgamods.com, Randy will treat you well.
    He is the only place I will buy a Holga from.
    I look forward to seeing stuff from you!
    If you have any question feel free to email me.
    No matter what you end up really liking make sure you run some color through it too.
    Good Luck!

    Re: Just ordered my first ever.....HOLGA!

    Thanks everyone!

    My whole family thinks that I'm nuts ordering a toy camera!


    My children heard the word 'toy' and they think that THEY are getting something in the mail. He, he, he, he,


    Since its the season for spooks, I might just have to take some test shots out in the cemetary, or at Halloween.

    I will run some color through too -Thanks again!

    Kathy
