i just noticed a flaw (supposingly).. the lens of the viewfinder is blocking the focusing distance of the holga. i think u can still see it from an angle, but that defeats the purpose of tlr eh... (viewing from the top... )


yeah but you think this is just a camera to 'test market'? soon after if this gets much response they're gonna come out with the colour versions... then 'glass' lens (if this isn't already) then soon one that goes "pikachu pikachu"...

well it would look cute if it's multicoloured maybe... but i guess to some peep it's something they've wanted... to don't think just shoot with a 120mm TLR... (painful...)

haha.. yeh. but as much as it has wat a 'TLR' should have (the 2 lens), it just doesnt have the 'feel' of a tlr camera. i mean u can't just fit another lens and mirror into a compact camera (say.. xa2) and say.. 'i've created an XA2 35mm TLR!'

my impression of a 'Holga TLR' wold be a boxy body (like tlr!), with winding at the sides, and the famous holga lens on it. now that would be a seller!

was telling the rest that a mirror combo isn't too difficult to diy, winding at the side may need a bit more fabrication. hot shoe is a matter of mounting and wiring..

sounds easy, but sure chui if i do =p
