Steve-

I am not in any way suggesting that Holgas are a good choice here, but I
have some experience with the camera and wanted to clear up a few things...

The camera does focus... some users dispute whether the focusing
actually does anything... it seems to on my cameras. There are two
aperture choices... f/8 and f/11. There is however only one shutter
speed, which is about 1/100 on my cameras (other users report some
variation here), so there is no "longer exposure" options here unless
you get inside and rig something...
