yeah so i decided to see what its like to put my holga lens on my 400d body...i didnt really do it spectacularly, infact i was quite dissappointed with the images i got in terms of Holganess but that was because i done a shitty job of it...if i get hold of a body cap ill drill it out properly. also it kinda messes things up in terms of focal lengths.

A 35mm lense on a Medium format camera is classed as wideangle, and im sure you would get some curvature and the characteristics of a semi fisheye lense, however on 35mm, full frame and aps-c dslr sensors these are standard focal lengths. now a holga lense is classed as 50mm, and since its a medium format camera, i found when mounting it on my 400d (aps-c sensor 1.5 crop factor) it was much more zoomed in.

which lead to the absence of the nice vignetting you get with holgas, if i am going to do it properly im going to have to make sure the lense is much closer to the sensor... itll also mean my photos will be clearer... anyway, heres the shots, not the prettiest but as far as experiments go:



as you can see a holga could never focus this close...



anyway here's some shit to look at i took earlier
