Holga tripod mount problem?
I just got my Holga 120n and I noticed that the tripod mount seems like some of the plstic is chisled away where the brass should be. Here is a picture: http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll188/Pj221/?ac...
I contacted the company I ordered from and they said that this is on all of the holga's, I am not really convinced. Does anyone else have this on their camera or should I try to exchange for a new one?

Not all Holgas will have this. This happens if the plastic spills over into the tripod socket during the injection molding process. They sometimes have to clean it out so that you can use the tripod socket. I wouldn't consider it defective, unless the tripod socket is loose.
I have a few how to videos for Holga and other lo-fi cameras on my youtube channel:

Unfortunately Holga is a toy camera--and is overpriced one at that. The users can't expect it to be durable.
