Yippee! Yahoo! I just fixed one of my holgas so it will focus to two feet instead of three feet and maybe a bit shorter--I'll have to do some testing. Essentially you take the lens off, break off one of the stops inside the lens and then screw a screw through the outside edge of the lens creating a new stop. The screw has to be at a point that will facilitate a shorter focus but stop the lens from unscrewing all the way and falling off. I'll have to take pictures of this and put it on my holga mods page. Anyway this is something I've been wanting for some time. Here's the instructions I used. Gotta thank Susan Burnstine for her assistance in finding the link. Check out her photos. She does great holga/diana camera pics with very close focus.
How cool is it--how liberating is it to be using a camera you can jam a screw through the side of the lens and be excited about it.
I can't wait to shoot tomorrow, and luckily I have enough pyro for two more rolls--I knew there was a reason to save it--it had nothing to do with laziness.
