BRAND NEW - with box, manuals, masks & strap
THIS AINT YOUR ORDINARY HOLGA! I have personally overhauled this camera. As well as being skinned with a brand new pink croc skin leatherette, it has had the aperture system modified, and it will now perform better than it did from the factory.
This camera features a black body, which I have personally skinned in a stunning pink croc-skin leatherette.

Modifications I have made:

- removed the lens, drilled out the original aperture hole to make the "cloudy" aperture wider (this increases bokeh and functionality in darker weather)
- added an aperture disc to make the "sunny" aperture setting functional
- installed custom made washers to the screws that attach the shutter assembly to allow the aperture arm to move more easily
- fitted a brand new strap strap, originally from a Nikon FM2
History:
The Holga camera was designed by T. M. Lee in 1981, and first appeared outside mainland China in 1982 in Hong Kong. The Holga was intended to provide an inexpensive mass-market camera for working-class Chinese in order to record family portraits and events. Within a few years after the Holga's introduction to foreign markets, some photographers began using the Holga for its dreamy, surrealistic, impressionistic scenes for landscape, still life, portrait, and especially, street photography. These owners prized the Holga for its lack of precision, light leaks, and inexpensive qualities, which forced the photographer to concentrate on innovation and creative vision in place of increasingly expensive camera technology. In this respect, the Holga became the successor to the Diana and other toy cameras previously used in such work.
A Holga photograph by David Burnett of former vice-president Al Gore during a campaign appearance earned a top prize in a 2001 White House News Photographers' Association Eyes of History award ceremony.
