I wish they had this system for every camera that I use. It lets you use square filters, or you can cut your own out of plastic, glass, or overhead projector transparency material. The most useful of the filters in this kit is the yellow filter, which warms up a scene quite nicely.

These color filters are fun to enhance your color photos, blue makes water and the sky look really blue for example. For pictures taken at night, the filters have a dramatic effect. I like them!

FYI...i posted a more detailed review under the "Holga LENS & FILTER HOLDER" product description.

Anyway, perhaps Holga has improved the design of the filters and holder...because the Holga colored filters I received were sturdy, had tapered edges, and were gently gripped by the Holga filter holder. Even when I turned the holder upside down, I had to shake it a few times to get the filter to even start to slide out.

Anyway..I am happy with this purchase!

When I got this, I bought it with the filter holder. These fall right out of the filter holder if the camera is not perfectly leveled. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew they would fall out. Otherwise, these are really cool looking in photos.

The filters are perfect for making your pictures look even better! I use them with my other cameras too! They are like magic!

First, before you buy this filter set please know that you will need to also purchase the Holga Filter Holder if you don't already have one. The holder, along with this filter set make for some fun, quick and experimental photography using an icon of the plastic toy camera world.

You can easily add contrast to any black and white film or simply add a color tint to color film. Its really as easy as switching out the filters, and the possibilities are only limited to the amount you are willing to experiment. So have fun. Look. See. Shoot.

This is a very misleading item. First, I received four filters(solid blue, yellow, red and green?) No grey-ish one that softens the edges, which I was hoping for. In the picture you see a little clear circle in the center, but I got solid-color filters. I'm not hugely disappointed because all in all they work and are basically what I wanted but not exactly. Kinda peeved about the grey filter. Also, I'm surprised there aren't more reviews like mine. Maybe it's a fluke?

I thought it would come with the filter holder shown in the picture. It doesn't. You must purchase separately. Good otherwise.

The filters seem nice enough, if you can find the attachment that you need to purchase (SEPARATELY!) in order to actually use them!

Oh well, next time I'll be more careful than to assume that the piece that you NEED will come with the filters.
