Have any of you used this lens?

What do you guys think? I bought one. Just for kicks. I mean, come on... it was only $16...

New?

New?

Are you sure it was just released? Must be about 8 months ago, I got one for my m43 camera and for my Canon 5D mk2.

My mistake, I guess I just thought it was new. Edited the original post... Whoops. Anyway, what did you think of the lens?

$16? For just the lens? You can buy a real Holga for $28.

A film Holga and a Holga lens for digital cameras so completely different they're not really comparable. That and with a Holga camera you have to buy and develop film, so it's not really fair to say that it only costs $28.
