So all the Holgas did this or only a few ?
As Jim said, the cool thing about Holgas is that you have no idea as to
what you will get. I know of a woman who went out and bough 100 Holgas and
shot film in all of them until she found one that gave her exactly what she
wanted and shot with that camera for years until it finally fell apart.
By "blurry" do you mean completely out of focus or very, very soft ?
