After the recent launch of the new iPhone 5, the iPhone 4/4S shares quite a bit with the hipster-approved Holga camera, they're both vintage, and use old technology to achieve "artistic" images. However, the iPhone 4/4S is lacking the meniscus lens that makes the Holga's image "retro" but luckily you can always download Instagram...but that's mainstream, man. Clearly the best thing to do in a situation like this is to buy the official Holga iPhone Lens Filter and Case Kit ($25) and take "vintage" images without installing any apps on your phone, making your "artwork" more "artistic" and "authentic." Seriously though, the Holga kit is pretty cool, not only do you gain a few points for style, the 9 unique special effects filters help to protect the scratch-prone iPhone lens.
