Shortly before Thanksgiving it was announced that Holga cameras would no longer be manufactured. Holga Jen has an excellent write up with sources.
Additionally, Jen has a call for entries for everyone to submit your favorite photo from your Holga in 2015.
Dennis's Book on Toy Cameras (German)
He also has a book in English that is a pretty good primer for those who want to get started with Film Photography.
These are not affiliate links.
Fortunately we have not seen any price gouging yet on the Holga, ignoring a humorous typo on lomography.
After the announcement we posted to twitter to get your story of the first Holga, and what brought you to this quircky little camera.
If you would like to share your story, post it in the comments below.
@PlasticImagery I was afraid to shoot because I read at so many places that the #holga is difficult to use. Turns out they were wrong ;-)— Martina (@moerkrum) November 30, 2015

@PlasticImagery Bought my first Holga for an Experimental Photography Class in Monterey, CA. Use the Holga Pinhole the most #believeinfilm— Kate (@AnalogPhotoBug) November 27, 2015
@PlasticImagery @HolgaJen Co-worker got me into it. Bought one to shoot at my brother's wedding. Now both my kids have one.— Nate Wallace (@natimusref) November 27, 2015
@PlasticImagery I had been shooting digital photos for almost a decade when a friend urged me to get a Holga. https://t.co/pgMWemVsez— John Mosey (@jmosey) November 27, 2015
@PlasticImagery @HolgaJen
I was building #pinhole cameras, had much 120 film.
Lured by the price, you had me at f/8
