At first sight I dared to hope this was going to be the Digital Holga we've all been waiting for!

But I have a few reservations from browsing the gallery.  The inexcusable lack of gross optical aberrations and extreme fall-off at the edges somewhat dulls my enthusiasm.  And where is the random edge flashing and rich panoply of internal reflections?  And quite frankly the lens flare is just not there.  How can one be expected to find significant pseudo-meaning in an image so clean?  One could easily be forced to resort to meaningful subjects to create gallery-worthy photographs.  But so close!  Maybe a little sandpaper on the lens, drill a couple holes into the sensor area.

A nature photographer's dream...
