Lightweight and manual focus, this plastic prime lens offers a unique, nostalgic shooting experience that stands out in a sea of clinical sharpness. Perfect for millennial pros craving artistic authenticity and playful experimentation. ## Description The Holga's low-cost construction and simple meniscus lens often yields pictures that display vignetting, blur, light leaks, and other distortions. But just these characteristics endows it with distinctive vitality and unique effects. With the lens, the magic of Holga now is available for Nikon and Canon EOS DSLR cameras. It generates soft and dark angle images that cannot be duplicated! The Lens are with a near/far focus adjustment ring and a fixed f/8 aperture. Focal length is 60mm. Lots of fun at a very reasonable price! Specification: Focal Length: 60mm Focus Type: Manual Maximum Aperture: F/8.0 Material: Plastic Lens Dimension: 30x60 mm Weight: 30g Compatible with: Can be used with any Canon DSLR/SLR Camera (with Canon F-mount) Package Includes: 1x Holga Lens HL-C for Canon 1x Front Cap 1x Rear Cap 1x Manual Review: This is a fun lens for the price, it's certainly niche but you can get a lot of cool effects out of it with very little effort. That said, it's absolutely NOT f/8. It's MUCH slower, so slow that the viewfinder will be fully blacked out in low light conditions. I did a little digging around and confirmed my suspicions that it's more like f/24. Apparently, this is because Holga lenses are terrible at focusing to infinity, so they basically make it "squint" with a very small aperture, which greatly increases the distance it can focus at. This also means it has a very deep depth of field. From what I've seen, it's easy to modify the lens to open the aperture up, which makes the depth of field much more limited and allows for some pretty crazy chromatic bokeh effects, but it also makes it impossible to focus past ~25 feet. I'm half tempted to buy another just to try that out, haha. Still gets 5 stars, just because of the price. Review: Este lente debe ser usado a manera de diversión y experimentación, la foto tiene viñetado y unos colores retro que me encantan, si te gustan las fotos super definidas y a gran resolución no compres este lente, es mas bien para jugar a tomar fotos y hacer fotos estilo "lomography", tomar fotos en blanco y negro y este lente son una gran combinación. ## Features - The Holga lens that can be used with ANY Canon DSLR/SLR Camera - A kind of plastic lens that can be mounted to Canon cameras directly. - By using it, the Canon DSLR cameras can also shoot pictures with soft and dark angle effects, just like Holga film cameras. - Get one ! No Photoshop, Lightroom or other software for your photos! - Each photo is unique. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07MF9VGB6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #143,581 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1,030 in SLR Camera Lenses | | Brand | Holga | | Camera Lens | A 60mm lens that provides Holgaesque images | | Color | Black | | Compatible Camera Models | Canon EOS series | | Compatible Camera Mount | Canon EF | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (164) | | Exposure Control Type | Manual | | Focal Length Description | 60.0 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Image stabilization | No image stabilization | | Item Weight | 30 Grams | | Lens | Standard | | Lens Design | Prime | | Lens Fixed Focal Length | 30 Millimeters | | Lens Mount | Canon EF | | Manufacturer | HOLGA | | Maximum Aperture | 8 Millimeters | | Maximum Focal Length | 60 Millimeters | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Aperture | 8 f | | Minimum Focal Length | 60 Millimeters | | Model Name | HL-C | | UPC | 753936814073 | | Viewfinder Type | Optical viewfinder | | Zoom Ratio | 1:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Holga - **Camera lens description:** A 60mm lens that provides Holgaesque images - **Compatible mountings:** Canon EF - **Focal length description:** 60.0 millimeters - **Lens type:** Standard ## Images ![Holga HL-C 60mm f/8 Lens for Canon DSLR Camera(Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618rxBn1DfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have put this lens on my 5D mark 3 and cannot get it to work.
