Hi, completley new to Holga's and photography, however looking to have a bit of fun with a holga.
Basically, I've just purchased a Holga 120 CFN, I've got 5 rolls of colour 120 film (400 iso). After using this film, I'm going to buy a Superheadz adaptor which enables the Holga to take 35 mm film (for the cheaper cost of the film and development).
When snooping around on ebay looking for a fisheye lens for it, I've noticed there are ones designed for 120mm film (HOLGA FISHEYE & VIEWFINDER Set for 120 GCFN GTLR CFN GN on eBay (end time 31-Dec-10 04:19:02 GMT))
And ones designed for 35mm film (HOLGA FISHEYE & VIEWFINDER Set for 135BC Toy Camera on eBay (end time 31-Dec-10 04:19:27 GMT))
So would i be right in thinking a fisheye for a 120 Holga, wouldnt work when i am shooting on 35 mm film? or would one be interchangeable??
Also, which should I buy? Would i be right in thinking the 120 would work on both as it's set for a bigger picture, and the 135 one won't be big enough for when shooting with 120 film. Basically I'd like the most interchangeable one.
(Excuse terrible photography jargon, trying to sound like i know something, but I really don't! All help much appreciated!)
