I shot using live view on the GF1, punched in and focused the lens manually on the ribbon around the smallest vase. I can't believe how sharp that little plastic lens actually is :-)
The problem with the lens is that the focus symbols printed on the lens are just ornamental. I was about 1 meter away when I took this shot but according to the focus symbol on the lens it was focused to somewhere between 3 meters and infinity!
I shot this with the built in flash straight on and gave the image a slight "retro" edit. Since this is also a heavy cropped version I added a new vignette as well.
@juliedduncan Thanks Julie. I just have a Holga lens that I use on my digital camera. I do have a roll of exposed B&W film that is waiting to be processed though I just have to practice loading the film into the development tank in complete darkness first. It about 40 years since the last time I developed a film so it takes some practice to get familiar with the process again ;-)
If it is a success I might buy a proper Holga camera :-)
@helstor365 Ok, I see. I got a Holga camera a few years ago and took some pictures, but never got them developed. :( Meant to go back to it, but got busy with other things. I have so many things I want to do; this amongst them. We'll see what happens. I didn't realize you can buy a Holga lens to go on a camera. Sounds intriguing! :)
