If you are a hardcore Holga fan or have already taken the time to look up some sites featuring Holga mods and hacks (or to take apart your camera for that matter), you will know that the Holga, despite sporting a switch for two different aperture settings for sunny and cloudy conditions, only features one aperture. This is due to the fact that switching from cloudy to sunny causes an arm to slide in front of the lens opening, the area of the hole on that arm (which is supposed to allow less light in) is larger than that of the aperture; i.e. the amount of light remains the same.

Prime lens or zoom lens? Is 30mm enough for all life situations, or would you like an 18-55mm to cover landscapes and portraits? Or maybe an 18-200mm for sports and street photography as well? Here is my take on the matter, and why I go for primes.

I think I have already told you that my parents are not so much into photography and that I don't know where I took this analogue love from (as a funny anecdote I'll say that my mum doesn't have any pic from her pregnancy months because my dad always loaded the films in the wrong way), so it's not surprising that I hadn't noticed my grandpa's or my uncle's cameras before.
