September 10, 2011 in Features, Help, Resources, Slider, Tutorials with 3 Comments
As you may have noticed from our Blog and recent media attention there has been a lot of interest in the recent release of the Digital Holga lenses. We get asked a lot about these products from our customers to the HolgaDirect Store. In addition we are quite often contacted by customers who have purchased one or more of the Digital Holga lenses with advice about how to get the best out of them. On the back of this we have decided to produce a series of articles describing the lenses and provide advice and tips on how to use them. This article is the first in this series and covers the ‘Close Up’ Lens Set (CLS-1) and ‘Macro’ Lens Set (MLS-1).

Peter over at ‘get addicted to‘ ran the Digital Holga Ultimate Kit through it’s paces by producing some marvellous portraits of Tom Glagow, owner of C.A.R.E. Music Group. Peter used the lenses in the Kit together with his own Canon 5D MKII to produce some wonderfully dreamy looking portrait images.
