Update: Please note that I am aware of the quality of these cameras (light leaks, soft focus, etc.) And understand that I consider this a "novelty purchase". Just looking for more information.
Hey,
I'm looking to purchase either a Lomo or Holga medium format film camera, and was wondering what are the pros and cons of both manufacturers.
I also live in Alberta, Canada, and was also wondering where would be the best place to purchase one? I am a little leary about buying online, but I am realizing now that it is probably going to be my only viable option.
Just so you are all aware, I fully understand these are considered "toy" cameras. I currently have a Canon EOS 30D as well as an old Canon AE-1, and I am looking for a medium format camera that is super cheap. I am quite fond of the inexpensive scratchy vignetted look of the photos I have seen taken. I currently work in a camera store and have been told by our purchaser we cannot order them and there are none in store used.
Thanks in advance, if I think of any more questions, they'll be posted.
Cheers.
