The world famous Medium-format wonder! A cult favorite with a fanatical global following, the Holga produces extraordinary low-tech works of art with the bare minimum of mechanical function. Soft focusing, full double-exposure capability, intense vignetting, and unpredictable light leaks all contribute to the Holga's incredible photo eFects. Each Holga is unique and produces signature images and peculiarities of its own. THIS MODEL HAS A UNIQUE SPINNING WHEEL THAT COVERS THE FLASH WITH A BLUE, RED OR YELLOW FILTER for manipulating your pictures with vibrant colors. Buy several and throw some wood on your creative fire! Uses 120 film. (2 AA batteries required for use. not included) |

Good tool for artists |

The whole point of Lomography is the "point and shoot, don't think" spontaneous philosophy. Of course not every photo is going to look like a Kodak commercial; they're not supposed to. This camera will take photos that imitate that faded quality of Polaroids, and once you get your film cross-processed, the result will be surprising and beautiful. Since the camera is manually advanced, take advantage of double-exposing your film. The only concern that I have for my camera is light leaking in, so I buy black electric tape to tape up the seams. It gets a bit tedious, but it makes it possible so that I'm not wasting my shots. Try the color flashes too... very interesting feature of this camera. |

So far, so good |

The shipper sent the item on time and it was in the condition expected, brand new. I love the camera so far, but have yet to develop the film |

Consistently cool |

This is truly my favorite camera in the world. I have a great digital ultra-zoom and really wanted a digital SLR but couldn't afford it. A friend suggested the Holga--a step in the absolute opposite direction--and boy am I glad I got it. I was so BORED with Photoshop and digitalization. I really wanted to create pictures, not spend mindless hours in front of the computer. Holga gives me just that. It's quirkiness is what makes it so wonderful, from the light leaks to the vignetting. You truly never know what your film is going to look like, but it's almost always interesting. Black and white film is incredible in it! I suggest the filter set that comes with red, green, yellow and blue filters. I have gotten some truly wonderful results using the red filter with black and white film--so contrasty it's sick! The Holga has renewed and revived my interest in photography. Since I couldn't make my pictures perfect I figured I'd embrace the imperfections. Thanks Holga! |

Love this Camera |
|
I bought this camera just to have a photography fun. It's great and take very nice pictures. It was shipped quickly too, which was great because I took it on a trip. |

tragically hip...but still fun |

Its a fun little camera that takes crazy pictures. But a majority of your shots are going to be unusable. Its a good deviation from normal photography but eventually you get tired of having ruined photos and little or no control of the end result. |
