Had this turn up yesterday.

It started out like this

spot the difference?

I've posted a short review of it in it's original state over in the articles section. I'll follow it with the mod details later.

You're a big tease! Hurry up with the juicy details. I really like my Holga, but have often thought that some basic kind of aperture and shutter control added to it would make it so much more flexible. Seems feasible, and it looks like you went and did it.

Yes, please do :) Great idea, unfortunately I don't have a spare lens lying around (though that should be easy to fix ;)).
