Mark,
I'm a big fan of Holgas and other toy cameras. The other day I pulled a
lens off a Holga, drilled a hole in a Pentax K body cap, and glued the
lens into place. As a result, my K mount bodies are now focus-free and
have that nice Holga-ish look that comes from using a single element

Could you be a little more specific? Does the lens readily come off the
Holga? Did the lens need any spacing on the body cap to be in focus? I like
the effect very much. Great job!

Much better quality images than you'd normally expect from a Holga, but
still having some of that plastic lens naivety that give the Holga it's
