HOLGA

[xeno]

Does anyone know where I can buy a Holga 135 (35mm) in the UK? Either online or in a store - I live in London

I've been chasing one for ages but the site I was going to purchase from is now out of stock, as is lomography.com. Has it been discontinued?

I am tempted to get the medium format version, but to be honest. I don't need the extra size and am quite happy shooting in 35mm.

If anyone could suggest a similar camera that would be excellent. I have a good 35mm so I'm really only buying this because I want some weird looking shots.

Thanks for any help!

I bought my one in the Photographers Gallery, when i was on holiday in London last year.

They've recently moved to new to a new location which i don't know off the top of my head, try googling them

A Lomo could be an expensive waste of money. I got one hoping to take some thoroughly crappy pictures but was bitterly disappointed to find it produced really good ones equal to most compact 35mm cameras. It must have been a Friday model. I'm hoping my Holga will restore my faith.

If you can't or don't get one of these you can get a 35mm conversion kit off Ebay for the usual 120 models. Only problem is you have to open the back, and manually rewind the film so total darkness (under the bed cover at night) or a changing bag.
