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

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.

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.

I thought the same when i did the modify but at the end Holga surprised me! It is more resistant than i thought, great.
