Has anyone here experimented with putting good lenses on a Holga? I love the ease of use of the Holga, but would like the resulting pictures to be sharper...

Sure, easy !

Just take another MF camera with better optics than
the holga, set the aperature to that of the holga,
set the shutter speed to that of the holga,the focus
to that of the holga
and VOILA !
You have:
the ease of use of the holga
better lenses,
BUT WAIT !!!! you also don't have to graft lenses onto the holga!!!!!!!

Best Wishes,
Happy New Year

The Holga is really only good for print film, since there is no exposure adjustment.
There were Holgas made with single element "glass" lenses, which are supposed to be sharper. It was called a Woca and was just available a short time.
