Hi,
Does anybody flipped the lens of a holga?
I tried but i haven't yet shot with it.
Any tips on how to focusing?
Many thanks
 
I haven't, but I'm curious as to your results. Please keep us updated!
 
To check focus you could try the old trick of Scotch Magic tape put across the film opening in the back. Focus on the tape like a ground glass. Or use a small ground glass or similar plastic piece. If I recall correctly someone on Ebay is selling a Holga focus check ground "glass" for $10.
 
Many thanks ChuckP i just tried yesterday with a scotch magic tape and wow it work.
I'm going to load my Holga with film to check the results.
Thanks
 
I've flipped the lens in a Brownie and have gotten interesting results. The Holga seems more fragile to me. I'll be curious to see how you did it what the results look like.
