Everytime I walk into Glazer's Camera Store in Seattle I see this wide assortment of Hong Kong's finest cameras, the 'Helga' They are just very low tech plastic jobbies with fixed plastic lenses, or just pin-holes and use 120 or 220 film. Good-bye Hasselblad !!!! I think I'll get the Helga 'pin-hole'. The results look like such fun.
The problem is, the book about using the Helga cameras is about twice as expensive as the camera.
Pray-tell, has anyone here used the Helga cameras?????

Just for fun look at the Amazon page and read the comments and view the "Sample Photos"... What a hoot! I see why an artist would try this very cheap camera... Amazing creative results...
