I was trying to recall the name of one last night and it came to me
this morning. The lensbaby (http://www.lensbabies.com/) is a selective
focus lens that offers some of what the Lomo/Holga do ... and more as
you can move the sweet spot around. 

Apparently some of the Lomo colour comes from using the 'wrong'
films ... develop slide films as prints and visa versa.
