Lomography Release Fish-eye Adapter for Holga

May 17th, 2008 Posted in News

Lomography have released a new fish-eye adapter for the Holga camera.

This new adapter is unique because it does not need any form of attachment or mount making it “more friendly on the wallet”. The compact lens quite simply slots on to the barrel of your Holga to give you unique and interesting 170 degree photographs.

Its retailed at £28/$56 which i think is fairly reasonable for the effect that it gives. I assume that as it just slots on and off, you don’t have to use it for the whole film. Thats another feature that encourages me to start counting my penny collection!

UPDATE: Another awesome thing about this lens is that it is also compatible with the lens on the Holga 135, they must be exactly the same diameter!

It looks like a lot of fun and I am seriously considering buying one, despite my stubbornness to DIY everything rather than buy from Lomography. Oh and the lens comes with a handy carry bag too.
