Interesting article on the Holga in The Independent (British newspaper). It's at http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-e...e-sixties-camera-makes-a-comeback-797582.html

Bought my first Holgas (yes plural), in 1990. I'd rather not be in a cult.

So we're in a cult? Are we going to get a membership card and a t-shirt, or any other neat-o stuff? With all this "popularity" over the Holga, Lomo, et-al, I am surprised the film makers/sellers havent done any joint marketing. You know, buy a Holga and we will throw in a 5 pack of 120 b/w film, that sort of cross-marketing deal. The mind boggles, if it wants to.
