>>52841 A Holga is an old, Chinese-made "toy" camera. I.e., the goal of the design was to be cheap enough for the camera to be given away at fairs and such. They usually have plastic lenses (although Holgas with glass lenses are available), usually have a few light leaks due to the wide tolerances the all-plastic body has to have to fit together, and have pretty pronounced vignetting since the quote-unquote-lens on those things just barely hits the whole frame of the film.
Lots of artfags like 'em because of the unique images they produce with the low-fidelity aesthetic and the unique pattern of light leaks you'll get on each camera.
Extra Bonus: They use rolls of 120 instead of 35mm.
I've got a Diana, which is like a Holga but smaller and older.
