Holga pin hole lens for Canon EF

I think it's a great lens considering its concept. Of course you shouldn't expect sharpness and clarity from this lens... it's something to give you the chance to use the same lens technology that people used in a very primitive phase of photography - with your digital camera.

I have made a few in the past.  Drilled holes in spare body caps.  Experiment with different size bits.  A lot of fun.

I'll have to try making a DIY version.

Did you know there's a "proper" Holga lens, for only £20?

Didn't know that.  It's been decades since I tried anything with a pinhole.  Have fun with it.
