The only problem with the great Holga-Lenses is that you can't see the focus-settings. I found a really easy way to mark it and resolve this issue.
So I designed the labels with a label printer, you can do it with other stickers, with a white marker and other symbols. For me, the simple version with 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 is enough and there are no symbols on my label printer.
First I put the lens-attachment on the Holga, so that the slots from the lens-attachment are left and right of the symbols. I pushed the lens not till the end on the optic so that the symbols are visible.
Then I started to stick the individual numbers on the lens-attachment. Make sure you don’t twist the lens-attachment on the optic because it isn’t really tight.
I made this for all three lens-attachments.
Now the problem where i do the focus settings is away. In addition, I stick on the top of the Holga a N, so I remember to check if I turn from B to N!
Have fun with my new Tipster! Hopefully it will help anybody.
