In addition to vintage appeal, authentic objects like Low-fidelity Holga, Polaroid, or fisheye film cameras are the favorite of any hipster.
These old cameras are used with different purposes: some use them to capture different moments of their daily urban routine habits and trips, others to take pictures of their hobbies, others for their art projects, and others just to decorate their rooms.
Despite this cameras are inexpensive, the film as well as turning them into positive prints could be quite expensive. This is the reason why hipsters also have and use small digital cameras.
As an alternative some use low-fidelity Holga lenses redesigned to fit some digital cameras such as DSLR/SLR cameras. These lenses add the classic look that you have with a true Holga camera but with digital cameras. These lenses are also be very cheap.
