Holga film

[mattvillano]

What type of film is best to use with a Holga? I haven't actually used it yet and was wondering what some of the Holga users here have put through the camera. Both color and black&white. Has anyone put any color slide stuff like Velvia through it? Thanks.

I asked a similar question a little while ago. You may find it useful.

I would answer here, but I answered in the pasted thread above, and nothing's changed.

Start shooting that thing! Don't forget the black tape!

I've used all sorts of 120 film from Big Yellow's color Portra to Ilford B&W.

Whatever your local film store has in their "expired 120 rollfilm" pile Seriously.

If you want your pictures to look like the slick marketing photos ('contrasty super-saturated' funky-coloured!') on 'lomography.com' buy slidefilm and ask the lab to cross process it in C-41 chemistry.
