Holga 120 series fans here?

[Maxathos]

I'm wondering if there are any Holga fans here, it's a toy camera using 120film which is mainly sold to artistic photographers, I think it would be cool to make a contest in the contest forum for your holga shoots, if many people here has one!

If not take a look on amazon or Ebay, it usually goes for 20-30 bucks, and you can do amazing things with it! The full name is Holga120n

max.

I have had a holga for a few months now. Only put a couple of rolls through it, but find it great, love the effect and the freedom of it.

Just something more than settings and expense which we all use every time we take a pic. Random acidents look beutiful on this (e.g. light leanks). To me I try to take it along when I do a normal photo shoot. Sure some think it's a bit arty farty, but I love playing. Just film costs!

i've had one for about 8 months
and gone through 2 rolls on it
it seems to be fun and what not

but whenever i've sent it to be developed
they always come back with either only one or two shots actually developed
saying the negatives are too dark or wont process at all
i think they dont have experience with holga so to them it doesnt look right or something

at my university, there's never any technicians in the photo labs and i dont think i can develop it myself so never tried
otherwise i still have the negatives of potentially interesting photos

they've also got the machines that scan the negatives straight onto the computer
but it all looks a bit overwhelming to me haha
