Do you think that it's important to buy a quality enlarger objective? (Scuse-me for my bad english...)

If by "objective" you mean lens, the answer is yes.

YES!!!! Buy the best lens you can get. Skimp on other things, but not your lens.

A good enlarging lens is the MOST important piece of equipment you can buy for your darkroom (an accurate thermometer is the second most important btw). I suggest you choose either a Schneider, Rodenstock or EL Nikkor 6 element designs. You can get some pretty good deals on the second hand market. Welcome to the dark! RO

I ask you this... would you have a $1000+ camera and put a $29.00 lens on it... well if you would then you would get inferior photos. If this is your objective, well so be it. Holga's are fun to play with but to print with a less than perfect lens on the enlarger would silly.
