Your Holga has very sharp "optical lens".

Weird, no consistency but some are sharp, probably hand was very still. My Holga 35 not taped up is a flare monster with no sharpness but photos have a dreamier look in general.

I forgot how much I love them. Definitely like the 120 tlr better. It has a built in flash with a rotating gel overlay. Not used that feature at all. Will on next roll.

Indeed. Plus Holga caught the sun with not too much of flare.

Interesting indeed! Did the Holga have any help? Like a lenshood or well placed hand? Managed the sun beautifully, the Holga shot gets my vote..
