So my lovely girlfriend decided that I needed a birthday present and went and ordered me a holga from the holgamod site. Has anyone used one of his modded plastic gems? I would love to see the results
from the specs it sounds good

2x usable apertures
6x6 mask
close focusing

all for the princely sum of 32 USD....and to think i have spent 1600 on a leica M6 TTl haha

I have four Holgas one of which is from holgamods. The modifications won't make noticeable difference to image quality but close focusing and 2 usable apertures are nice to have although not essential. Here's my Holga pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/markuspuustinen/
 
Here's a couple off mine,

I'd rather buy a Holga from Randy Smith than the LSI.
 
The HolgaMods Holga's are Great (for a Holga that is) and Randy is the Man. Super great & does what he sez. The mods you could do yourself, but he has done 50,000 of 'em and most are worth less than a roll of film. I have 4 cameras by him and would go back for more if they shot wet plate !!

I've purchased at least 4 over the years, plus and extra lens, and several shutters - all from Randy at Holgamods. He's the go to guy for Holgas in my view. Now that I think of it, he also modified a Woca for me too. Buried in here are some images from all the cameras:

Have fun with it, if only it shot HD video too:)
 
I have about 10-12 Holgas right now, two from Randy at HolgaMods. His basic mod works great for me, as well as a StereoHolga that I got from him. Seems as though the mods he comes up with eventually winds up in a production line somewhere else! And I will alway prefer buying them from Randy rather than LSI. He is a great guy to work with. Next I want a waist-level finder version!
