Sounds like a lot of money for what it is. It can be made from an old
Polaroid pack film camera (10 bucks or less at a resale shop) and a
Holga (15 bucks) a hacksaw and some black electrical tape or gaffer's
tape. Call it 30 bucks for parts. The one in Japan is therefore being
marked up by a factor of 100. (And don't think that the extra money is
because it it "really well made" -- because "well made" and "Holga"
cannot be used in the same sentence...)
