Not as advertised - no film or batteries in box
I can’t speak to the quality/fun factor of the actual camera yet because I can’t use it yet! It didn’t come with batteries or film, as indicated in the picture and description…

Take a break from digital photography. Let go of instant gratification. Embrace Lo-Fi photography!
This camera is a ton of fun. Load it up with cheap film from the closeout bin of your local camera shop. Snap away at anything at all. Double exposures, color-filled flashes, low-tech panoramics! Get your drugstore to process the film wrong (cross-process slide film) You can’t mess up the pictures. They’re messed up by design!
This funky counter-culture camera takes great “grunge” pictures that are a thousand times more interesting than yet another round of boring snapshots of your friends sitting around the table at Chili’s smiling over half-eaten plates of chicken tenders.

a friend of mine and i were talking about how much we wanted holgas but couldn’t find them… so when i saw this on here i immediately bought two kits, one for me and one for her.
and YES IT COMES WITH THE CAMERA. i just wanted to say that. but the whole package is great! comes with film, batteries, a poster extolling the virtues of lomography, a mini-handbook for the camera itself, incredibly easy to use. and what i think really makes the package is the “HOLGA - life through a plastic lens” book, with Holga enthusiasts, experts and aficionados giving you tips and sharing their images. Such a charming book, breathtaking pictures, and inspiring because it shows you what this cheap little thing is capable of. and they also give you cool little tricks for modifying the camera and different effects you can get and so on. so… yeah.
Buy it!

Holga for life!!!
I love my Holga. But buyer beware as soon as you start using one lomographic camera something strange takes over you. You begin to start craving more lomographic cameras.

I have really enjoyed this kit. Before I bought it I was interested in trying a Holga but I knew nothing about the kind of film it needed or how to use the camera. This kit came with everything I needed - even batteries and electrical tape!

Excellent for Lomography virgins
After reading the awesome reviews for this product, I decided to purchase one. It takes really cool, artsy pictures and the instructions were clear and helpful.

This Camera Rocks
I went out on a limb buying this camera. My friend has a fisheye camera and I thought that was cool, so I googled it, and then discovered the Holga and the Diana cameras.

Don’t expect perfection!
But with a Holga, the lack of perfection is what makes it special! :Love this little guy. The colored flashes add even more hilarity to the beast!
