Comments about Lomography Holga Starter Kit - 120SF Medium Format Viewfinder Fixed Focus Camera w/ Lens & Flash:

The camera in and of itself works great. It is, however, the pre-2009 model with the older, poorly designed aperture settings where the "cloudy" one doesn't really exist. The film we received was Fuji color 100 which worked fine in our very sunny town and the batteries work as expected. The book, while an interesting concept, has little that cannot be found on the Lomography website, including a fair quantity of poorly composed gimmick photos and the poster hardly bears mention.

All in all, you are probably better off just buying a Holga CFN or other preferred Holga model.
