Holga lenses for the micro 4/3

Yes, it's the same lens mount.

Holga Direct sells many versions to match different lens mounts. If you get the one that's specified for μ4/3 - either Oly or Panasonic - you should be good to go.

 

This is not exactly true re: Lensbaby. The Lensbaby Composer Pro does fit on the OM-D, it's the older Tilt Transformer that will not work (or at the very least is an extremely tight fit) due to the protruding "pentaprism" of the OM-D.

I'm not aware of any other adapters that have similar issues with the OM-D (or any other particular :43: body.) You shouldn't have any trouble with the Holga.

Be sure to come back and share your experiences with the Holga kit once you've played with it.

Holga 25 f/8 Lens for Micro 4/3 review by Illya Reddy | STEVE HUFF PHOTOS

 

Ordered a lens

Thanks for the link. I passed on the "kitchen sink" setup and order the $17 standard lens for my GH2. Shipping was only $4.25.

I have used PS6 to create some Holga effects. I was tickled with the look, but wasn't looking forward to the hassle of shooting 120 film and having to get it processed.

This seems like a good solution for less than $22. Hopefully I will have the chunk of plastic funkiness in-hand in a few weeks.

 

Just ordered one too (though from Ebay). Seems like a fun use for 16$ or so. And I can throw it on my E-P1 for some retro lomo fun. And the awful AF doesn't even matter!

 

i bought the 60mm from a local shop, but then realized it was for 4/3rds and not m4/3rds. they didn't have the correct lens so i kinda forgot about it. this thread reminded me so i just ordered the 2 lenses they have for olympus pen.

 

In my view, £11 very well spent. Why spend hours in PP when you can get such a beautiful, nostalgic, precisely imprecise look in an instant (ie at the moment of capture) with the Holga?
Also it weighs about the same as a robin's egg and so no excuse for not having it about you.

 

That's an English robin, by the way, not the larger American robin.

 

And the American Robin is actually a thrush that happened to remind the early colonists of the beloved English Robin....but I digress.
