Holga Zoom?

[Don Mills]

I think that what the world needs is a Holga with a crappy zoom lens! Anyone agree?

Where can I get one? I heard that someone mounted a Hasselblad lens on a Holga :confused:

Makes sense... Putting a thousand dollar lens on a twenty dollar camera... I wonder what Zeiss would say about that!

Its a brilliant idea..... Just like the "Holgaroid"........

Zeiss would be thrilled! Finally it will be proven that it is the LENS, not the CAMERA that makes the picture.

BTW: The zoom Holga sounds nice....

A three-element zoom attachment would be quite simple to design, if you don't want high quality. An 'afocal zoom variator' requires two fixed converging lenses with a movable diverging lens between. It would fit in front of the prime lens.

Best,

Good point!
