Product Description
From its humble creation in 1982, the Holga has grown into a globe-spanning cult item, able to capture the most unique photographic treasures that you have ever seen. Pick up the Holga, free yourself from the rules, and shoot your heart out. The famous Medium-format dynamo, now with a built in flash and color-gel filters! Prepare to employ your trusty Holga day or night as the flash opens up new worlds of low-light images with the beloved Holga effects, soft focus, double-exposures, streaming colors, intense vignetting and unpredictable light leaks. A "B" setting keeps the shutter open for as long as you like, and the dandy new tripod thread allows for smooth tripod mounting. "Mes Vacances Avec Holga" Photo Book by Frederic Lebain: A self-taught photographer, Mr. Lebain first saw the Holga 4 years ago in a New York photo shop. Since then, he has become one of the premier Holga artists in the world, holding exhibitions throughout Europe and Asia and being published in the venerable likes of Jalouse and DS Magazine. This 90 page book is a visual chronicle of Mr. Lebain's travels over the past few years, as told through his very finest Holga images. Softcover. Published by the Lomographic Society, 2002

 Excellent but should mention the film it came with is Black and White June 28, 2009
It doesn't say anything about the film it comes with, the speed or even that it's black and white. I didn't know this until I got it developed. There is no text on the wrapping or the film roll itself. Other than that the set is a good deal and much cheaper here on amazon than other retailers. Just make sure you can find a lab that still processes medium format film.
 Not as advertised - no film or batteries in box May 12, 2009

I can't speak to the quality/fun factor of the actual camera yet because I can't use it yet! It didn't come with batteries or film, as indicated in the picture and description. The box lists the contents and it does not indicate that it should include batteries or film either, so it wasn't simply an error.
It did come with the mentioned book, strap, and electrical tape.
The book is cool, beyond that I would just buy the plain camera, much cheaper, as the "starter kit" is no such thing.
Love the camera!! April 10, 2009

I love my Holga. But buyer beware as soon as you start using one lomographic camera something strange takes over you. You begin to start craving more lomographic cameras. I currently own the holga the supersampler and an LCA. But it doesnt stop there, you begin to realize that there are hundreds of other cameras you can modify out there in attics and garages and you start roming the flea markts for old kodak brownies and other cameras you can change to take different sizes of film and use those too. Now i have 14 cameras and i keep at least one on me at all times, another side effect of lomoitis.
the book that comes with it is really good too. Great photos, great ideas to get you started.

I LOVE my holga. Its so much fun to work with and people always asks about it when I'm out and about snapping pics. I got the starter kit about a year ago. The book included in the kit has lots of beautiful images and fun tips. The kit also contained batteries for the flash, a roll of 120 mm film, instructions, and electrical tape. I highly recommend that some kind of tape is used because I've had problems with the back cover sliding off. I also recommend converting your holga so it can use 35 mm film (you can either buy a converter or make one yourself). In my experience, developing 120 is expensive and its not something you can take to a drugstore to develop. I guess a cheaper way of developing 120 film is to develop it yourself if you have the means to do so.
I'd have to say that the best feature is the colour flash, its amazing, especially with multiple exposures.
I think the worst feature is the focus, because it doesn't seem to do much of anything (at least in my experience).
Don't expect all your images to be phenomenal or you might end up disappointed. Holga is perfect at making things imperfect, which is the best part. Embrace the crazy looking pictures.
