It's a Holga, are we sure it isn't "optional" lens...

Damn, I watch a camera posting for a whole week just knowing that I am 
going to get the camera of my dreams (or was it a nightmare) for a 
bargain price and then someone alerts the whole world.  Oh well.  What 
the seller didn't mention is that they are going to release a digital 
back for it April 1 and then you will all be jealous.

My Kind of Medium Format - Holga!

Now here's a guy who knows his stuff:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3002621153&category=710

Imagine a brand spanking new Medium Format camera for a mere $29.95. 

The list of available extras seems endless: lens cap, 6x6 mask,
Holgaroid back, tripod mount, genuine flocking, two whole aperture
selections, bulb setting to go with the standard 1/100 shutter speed,
and by golly a cable release. 

This thing looks semi-pro to me. And best of all, this guy cancels all
AOL bids. Whooie - avoids the amateur market completely. Smart move.

Uh oh - hope I didn't spoil anyone's plan to snipe a bid at the last
minute...
