J-Warden...my Holga is on its way to the "Holga Hospital" (Holgamods) as we speak..holding my breath!

Isn't it cheaper to put it out of it's misery and buy a new one?  It might be kinder in the long run! :P

All Holgas are not created equal though.
If you get one that has the just right vignette and blur it's worth it to get it repaired.

The older Holgas have more blur than the new ones do... I'm still using my original Holga that I purchased in 1999.
It's hard to toss one in the rubbish when it still has life in it.   ;D

My ruse is to take the lens off the old holga and put it on to the new.  I'm on my 4th holga and still on the original lens.

Great idea, Leon. I never thought of that. I'm still on my original and love the lens, so this sorts the future out or at least some of it!
