You would get better quality with a 50 dollar PnS. But as you indicated, that's not the point. When Lomo sells a special edition holga that comes with a red-and-clear candy-striped filter, I think it should be obvious what the market is.
Now, I have seen some really lovely Holga shots. However, those are usually well-framed with thoughts as to the vignetting, subjects selected so that they don't need to be in focus, and the film is usually cross-processed to give them some kind of otherworldly appeal. Your average Holga user basically uses it either cause (a) it's a fad, (b) they think the "distressed" soft blurry leaky image is arty, or (c) both.
I respect what the Holgas can do in the hands of a real artist, but frankly I have no love for 99% of the Holga shots out there. Fucking fads.
