The Holga camera creates a stylistic photo, in part because of its distinctive lens. If you want to create the Holga look, but want the ease of using your digital SLR camera, you can create a hack to mount your Holga lens onto the camera.
Instructions
1. Remove the Holga lens from the camera. File the edges smooth so that they will fit.
2. Cut a film canister into a long strip, removing the bottom or use other stiff plastic to wrap around the Holga lens. The plastic should be about 3/4-inches long to avoid damage to your camera. Glue in place. Light leaks are acceptable.
3. Drill a hole in your lens body. The hole should just fit the adjusted Holga lens into place. File the edges smooth. Drill a small hole in the lens cap to create the classic Holga effect.
4. Assemble the lens by putting the Holga lens inside your lens body and then putting the cap onto the lens body.
5. Attach the new lens to the camera and begin taking pictures. You can adjust the vignettes by changing the position of the Holga lens inside the lens body.
