Figure 2. "Digital Holga" created from custom built Holga lens and Nikon D1 body.
This is the S.K. Grimes' rebuilt Holga lens mounted onto the Nikon D1 body. Unfortunately the 1.5X crop factor of the digital body tends to give a "sharper" image for the digital Holga pictures because the image circle is only at the sweet spot of the plastic lens. Also vignetting is less pronounced due to the fact that digital sensor does not cover an area which is close to the medium format size of the original plastic Holga. Lately, I would like to test the Holga lens on a Nikon D3 which is the first full-frame digital body with a sensor the size of the typical 24 x 36 mm film size.
