who has a holga?

seisky · Jan 24, 2008

I'm hopefully getting one for part of my birthday present in about a month. If not, I'll buy one. But anyways, who here has a holga? Do you have any accessories for it? Have you done any modifications? Can you post some of your best shots from it?

I have a Holga 120N, and a couple of 120S models.

My favorite accessory? The cable release attachment.

My favorite mod? Velcro to hold the camera shut.

I've also played with Pinhole Holga (not yet successfully) and night photography with a Holga

Photos?

I've got one and done absolutely nothing to it. All I do is tape it.

Works just how I like it.

my girlfriend got me a 120n for my birthday, best surprise ever!! i love the little thing. Makes a refreshing change from metering exposures and everything else entailed in an SLR. She got me a load of filters for it too and im looking to get a fish eye. I always bring it to raves and ive got some mint pictures (till im too spannered to use the thing!!)

*edit - get a 35mm film back unless your processing film yourself bcoz its damn expensive to get 120 developed even though i love the square format it comes out as
