It might help you to understand it better.

It's basically the plastic Holga lens with the sharpness in the center with the fuzziness around the edges mounted on an EOS body cap. You can still turn the Holga lens to "focus" it like you can on the regular Holga. The results remind you of the Holga, but it's not going to duplicate the Holga. I got mine from Randy at Holgamods. As to a similar thing for the Lomo, I haven't heard of such a thing. Sarah, it’s Holga-esque.

I see that you have a “Holga plastic lens EOS mount”– is this what I think it is– the ability to shoot Holga-esque images from your DSLR? Is there a Lomo version?

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 14:12:45 +0000 http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/photoblog-of-the-week-ottok-photography/#comment-4384 Bruce, thanks. I love my Lensbaby macro adapters. It opened up a whole new world of doing macros beyond my regular macro lens. I highly recommend getting the set if you already have the Lensbaby -- it's not much. (Heck, I recommend the Lensbaby if you don't have one. I love it.) Forewarned though, a tripod is an absolute must I find because the macro adapters on the Lensbaby lens makes the DOF so thin that you need the sturdiness of the tripod to get the focus exactly where you want it.

I, too have a Canon 20D and have been glued to it since the purchase last June. Slowly I have added lenses and have grown to LOVE shooting in manual mode. I love the choices it makes me take and almost never shoot in auto mode. I have found using auto mode has made me actually botch a few images as it seems to average out light creating hot spots in full sun. Great stuff! I'll have to look into the Lensbaby kits, seems pretty exciting! Nice post, great site and wonderful featurette. I, too have a Canon 20D and have been glued to it since the purchase last June.
