If the roll-your-own Digital Holga is too rich for you (and at $3,000 and up to take some blurred photos it certainly should be), then you might try Lomo’s ready-made solution for its other medium format camera, the Diana F+.

The Diana F+ SLR adaptors are simple rings that attach to Nikon and Canon SLR cameras and let you use them with the low-quality Diana lenses. Why bother? Because the happy accidents you get using crappy glass or plastic lenses are impossible, or at least too long-winded, to reproduce digitally. And unlike the rather more specialized (and splendid) Lensbaby series, these are so dirt cheap that it is almost silly not to buy them. The adapter is a mere $12, and the lenses start at $40. That’s a lot, lot less than you’d pay for a single (proper) fisheye lens.

Actually, I’m sold. As soon as the local Lomo store re-opens after today’s holiday, I’m going to pick one up.
