"Toy Cameras" - Open Thread - Holga, Lomography, Pinhole etc.
Feel free to add your Lo-Fi and retro images taken with plastic fantastic lenses, pinholes and other obscure and odd optics.
Comments and technical questions are welcome but lets keep this image heavy if we can!  To get the ball rolling here are a few from my 25mm f8 Holga HL(W)-OP Lens - £10 worth of terrible plastic Chinese lens with a M4/3 mount, occasionally available on eBay.

Re: "Toy Cameras" - Open Thread - Holga, Lomography, Pinhole etc.
Here is a technique I tried a while ago. I used my Zuiko OM 28mm f2.8 on my E-620 with no adapter so the lens was just held by hand in front of the camera a technique called free lensing

Some more from Quarry Bank:
