Some pictures:
A7 and the lens.
The lens, both covers and the pouch.
The fixed F8 aperture hole plus a circle of smaller holes for soft focus.
A fisheye lens to stick onto the lens barrel, a cover and a pouch.
A7, lens and fisheye.
Sample pictures: There are no
full resolution images as the lens is extremely soft. So it makes no sense. Focus is on the big solar panel in the center of the photo.
The Holga lens uncropped. Severest vignetting.
The lens in APS-C mode. There is still heavy vignetting.
The Holga lens and the fisheye attached uncropped. Severst vignetting again.
The
lens and the fisheye attached in APS-C mode. There is still heavy
vignetting and there are aberrations towards the left and right border.
Closest focus is more than 60cm from
outermost
edge of the lens.
This is a cheap plastic lens. It doesn't cover full format, you have to
set your camera to APS-C mode. There is still heavy
vignetting with APS-C setting.You
can buy an E-mount version of the lens, mine is for Canon cameras and I
used an adapter to the A7. There is no aperture
setting, it's fixed at F8 and it has a circle of small additional
little holes to immitate a sieve aperture. Sieve apertures create soft
images and sometime a halo around highlights. They are difficult to
focus.
The lens hardly focusses to infinity. It has a kind of "zone focussing".
The plastic mount is fine, it doesn't wobble like other Holga lenses. It's a crappy lens with
"Holga Style" quality and results. You either love it or leave it. At
least, you have been warned. The results are very similar to Holga
cameras, so you can have the Holga fun without the expenses for film
and processing ;-) You may use the lens for portraits, if the soft image effect is desired.
