Errr... what would be the point?
Toy camera/pin hold camera effect. Plus you can use the creative filter produced by Holga.
There are other alternatives to create the effect....
i.e.

And for the Holga filters, there nothing cannot be done in Photoshop.
Having say that - if you buy the Holga stuff from ebay etc, it really isn't that expensive. And if you are into those Lomo style photos/low key photos, it's quite handy and very minimal work in post process... if any.
I've got a Holga camera that I use and I love the low-key, lomo style photos. If you can afford to part with the small amount of money, then go for it. Nothing to lose but $20!! You never know, you may just end up creating some amazing wild images

1 word of advise thu - avoid to use the Holga lens in a dirty, dusty area where wind's blowing hard! The lens has no glass elements, just a hole! Which means anything floating in the air have a good chance to get onto your sensor thru the tiny, tiny little hole.
Thanks for your replies, I'm not one to use photoshop too much, so any in camera stuff I can do is a bonus in my opinion.
As Ms Monny says it is only $20 !!!! If I get it , I will post some pics .
Thanks again.
