is an inexpensive, medium format120 filmtoy camera, originating in Hong Kong in 1982, that later came to be appreciated for its low-fidelityaesthetic. The Holga's cheap construction and simple meniscus lens often yields pictures that display vignetting, blur, light leaks, and other distortions. Ironically, the camera's quality problems became a virtue among some photographers, with Holga photos winning awards and competitions in art and news photography.
The camera was originally intended to provide an inexpensive mass-market camera for working-class Chinese in order to record family portraits and events.
