He said all the holgas did this. (It's true that holgas are not uniform.)
I think he meant very, very soft, although I have not seen the pictures.

Hi, I have a friend who is doing an interesting project in Mexico with
kids and Holga cameras. He says that they shot 150 rolls in October,
but the focus is blurry past about 15 feet, even when the Holga is
focused on infinity. I have never noticed this before, although it
could be true. Is this a "problem" with the Holga? The shooters did
change the focus to infinity when they were shooting distant objects.
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 ?
