@_jim_ was nice enough to lend me his Light Lens Lab 35 2.0 8 Element. Much like my Artizlab 35 1.4 Classic, it's a new lens with 1960's Leica lens haptics. It was fun to use and it was a nice test drive.
All of the above were converted using Negative Lab Pro, Linear Gamma Profile. All but Ole Bolle's face are straight conversions. Ole Bolle got a bit of an exposure boost.
When I see the Holga pix its just makes me kick myself that the Lomo 120 isnt the next level to this. Closest I got to it is a Mamiya Six folder but even that feels too serious.

I love the Lomo LC-A 120 but they all break after only a few rolls. And even before they break (shutter failures) they mess up the film spacing so you maybe get, if you are lucky, 10 shots per roll. Lomo’s ‘auto’ film advance does not take into account the film thickness increasing on the take up spool. Holga’s red window is flawless in comparison.
But not to worry, because by the time you get totally mad at film spacing, the shutter will have failed…. (I had two)
Unacceptable if the camera was $20 but it is $400.

There's a lot to like about this lens. It's compact, fast to focus and has good sharpness and a pleasing bokeh. I would probibily buy one if didn't already have the Artizlab 35 1.4 Classic.
