Throw away the lens cap?
A lot of Holga purists will tell you to throw away the lens cap. Why? For a couple of reasons; firstly, so you don't end up with blank photographs, secondly, you have a plastic lens - any scrapes or scratches will make your Holga even more unique. Personally, I keep the lens cap as it comes in handy when making multiple exposures with flashes. Also it stops your lens getting covered in dust or dirt when you throw your Holga in your bag. If you decide to keep your lens cap, remember to take it off before taking a picture! I always look at the lens before pressing the shutter, and again before I wind on. That way if I forget to take the lens cap off I can just take another picture before winding on.
