Love the light leaks - you never know what's gonna happen!.

If you want more exacting results, if you have a glamor shoot or something tape 'em up - lots of big mag photogs use Holgas!. I've even found a plastic lens to use for cinematography, cool stuff!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not bothered by it!. Sometimes they can be quite obvious, and at other times hardly there at all, it just depends on the conditions!. I never bother to cover anything up!. Here are some of my Holga shots if you want to browse:

Depends on the mode I am in and how severe the light leaks are!.

also, the brightness of the ambient light will dictate how many I cover up as well!.
