		Holga 120s - This plastic camera is the definition of simplicity.
		The Holga 120s allows you to focus on what you are photographing, rather than focusing on how to work the camera.
		To view examples of images made using the Holga Camera, visit the portfolios of Betsy Bell, Ann Marie Romanczyk, and Jean Laughton.

	Holga - Camerapedia.org
		The Holga is a medium format toy camera that recently became ultra-popular, even something of a cult.
		Everything in the camera is plastic, including the lens, and this leads to blown-out, wild-looking photos with plenty of light leaks.
		Loading film into the camera is notoriously difficult and it is often hard to tell whether it's loaded correctly until the whole roll has been shot and developed.

	AlternativePhotography.com : The Holga Camera
		In our high tech world toy and pinhole cameras remind us that a camera is just a light-tight box with a hole (aperture) at one end to admit light that strikes some light-sensitive material opposite from the hole.
		The Holga delivers sixteen 6 X 4.5 cm exposures on 120 film, large enough to compensate for the viewfinder's inaccuracy by cropping during printing.
		The Holga has a 60mm, f-8 plastic lens and four focus settings from 3 feet to infinity with a single shutter speed of about 1/100 second and two f-stops, f-8 for cloudy and flash and f-11 for sunny.

		Your eyes are drawn to Gore, not only because he seems to be in the eye of the storm, caught in a perfect moment of high emotion, but also because a curious distortion at the edges of the image forces your gaze toward the center.
		The camera does have a hot shoe, however, so an adapter with a PC connector can be plugged in.
		This is a medium format camera, capable of taking either 16 pictures in 645 format or 12 in the more traditional 6x6 square.

		Twenty-seven year-old Washington photographer Cris McCarthy has done a fair amount of rule-breaking in her young life by turning her cheap Holga camera into something it never was intended to be: a panorama camera seemingly on hallucinogens.
		Probably because the Holga camera is so bereft of controls – or rules photographers have for years felt comfortable in using it as the muse dictated.
		This is, after all, a camera made almost totally of plastic, that has two lens openings (small and large, sort of) and, in the basic model, only one shutter speed of roughly 1/100th of a second.

	Holga Tune-up and Mods
		According to the Holga spec sheet it is outfitted with a 1/100 sec.
		The first step in disassembling the camera for aperture modifications is to remove the two screws found inside the camera as shown in Figure 5. Once these two screws have been removed the shutter and lens housing will separate from the camera body as shown in Figure 6.
		While I don't personally believe that these cameras actually suffer any real light leaks and that the defects usually misdiagnosed as such are just caused by internal reflects I did add a foam strip inside the light trap groove on the back of my camera.

		Due to the minimal exposure controls on this camera, it is best to use films with a wide exposure latitude.
		Holga cameras come preset to expose at a 6 x 4.5 cm frame format.
		Due to the flimsy nature of the Holga, the camera needs to be taped in various locations to reduce light leaks and prevent film scratching.

		For readers who are unfamiliar with the Holga camera, a bit of background is in order, lest you wonder why I would bother to review a $100 enlarger, with its inevitable compromises.
		The plastic-lensed Holga, and its glass-lensed sibling, the Woca, are cheap (not merely “inexpensive”), plastic, medium format cameras (6x6cm, or 6x4.5cm via a mask if you prefer less vignetting at the corners), complete with elementary 60mm lens, one shutter speed (1/60 sec), and two apertures (f/8 and f/11).
		The Holga enlarger accommodates negatives from 35mm to 6x6cm.

		In much the same way, the use of a "toy" camera should be for the effect intrinsic to the camera which enhances the final artistic expression.
		Of the 30 photographs I took that day, it is the interior shot that he likes to show to prospective clients as the mood created is slightly altered from reality and gives them the opportunity to imagine what moods might be created in their new house.

		Each Holga camera has it's own unique quality (or distortion) since the manufacturer has a very "loose" (or no) quality control when making these cameras.
		The results you get from using this camera is somewhat non-conventional when compared to a regular camera but the images sometimes produce a remarkable "dreamy" effect.
		Photographers who have used this camera have acknowledged a sense of "freedom" when photographing with this toy camera.

		I've seen people apoxying filters to their camera's but I feel that is a poor method, as it makes the modification permanent.
		Because I also shoot with a 35mm camera, I have an abundance of 58mm filters.
		I also put two strips of fuzzy velcro vertically next to the red window inside the camera back, top to bottom, to help keep the film flat, and to put some pressure on the film, and that worked great.

	Random Notes: The HOLGA Camera
		Many of today's leading commercial and fine-art photographers use the Holga as their principal camera (see Christopher James' workshop "The Alternative Camera"), not because it is a precision piece of equipment, but precisely because it is not.
		The Holga is used by successful photographers to create imaginative and innovative images for magazine ads, editorial assignments and for personal work seen on the walls of leading galleries and museums.
		Since each camera is different, we recommend you use an initial test roll to determine where light leaks in your camera are coming from.

	Plastic Fantastic
		Not only is the Holga a medium-format camera, but it’s also capable of shooting both 6 x 4.5cm and 6 x 6cm formats (with the removal of an internal plastic mask).
		In low light, there’s the option of flash--either using an on-camera flash attached to the hot shoe on top, or using an external flash unit connected via an adaptor on the hot shoe.
		A plastic camera is way less obtrusive than a professional camera and probably faster to use, as well.

		So you've never used a Holga before, but you vaguely heard about this toy camera or you just saw it at the local photo store and were charmed by the sheer bubble-gum quality of it.
		You can also use Polaroid film with your Holga if (a) you bought the expensive Holgaroid, (b) you bought the expensive Polaroid back for the Holga after the fact, or (c) you're as creative and skilled as Randy at holgamods.com.
		There is nothing in a Holga to ensure even tension on the film, except the friction of the spindles themselves.

	AlternativePhotography.com : Medium Format Cameras
		The Holga's shutter speed is about 1/100th of a second and it has two aperture settings, one for full sun and one for cloudy days, so your choice is either f/8 or f/11.
		The metal clips that hold the camera back on are apt to slip and fall off and if that happens, the camera might come apart and ruin your film.
		Remember when shooting with a Holga that you may lose a bit on the edges of the film, this is the classic vignetting effect.

		There is some disagreement as to whether this camera, made in China, was originally designed as a toy or simply a very inexpensive plastic camera, but most people call it a toy, The Holga is famous for its uncontrollable light leaks, soft images and vignetting, but artists and pro photographers alike love the Holga aesthetic.
		Note: When using the 6 x 6 format, without the frame inside the camera, there is little left to hold the film in place as it advances, and more chance of loosely wound film.

		My first experience with the camera was at Rhode Island School of Design where I graduated in 1995.
		I've always liked shooting in a square format so the Holga was a natural progression for me. And even though I've started shooting more with a digital camera, I always come back to the Holga.
		The Holga is an inexpensive camera some might call a toy, and I suppose they're right.

		There’s also controversy over the Holga, with many people dismissing it as a cheap plastic toy camera, and many others taking astonishingly unique photos with it in spite of light leaks and considerable variation from camera to camera in lens quality, shutter speed, and f/stops.
		Think of the Holga as a rangefinder version of the Kodak Brownie and you won’t be too far off the mark.
		With a steady camera, you can fire the shutter multiple times to build up exposure.This won’t work for pinhole or long duration photos, so the shutter needs to be modified.

		The images do not give the same image signature as with the original 6x6cm Holga camera, but it offers a somewhat soft, pictorial feel, with a good hint of sharpness, amazing for a one element plastic lens.
		The trick is in mounting the Holga threads mount, and the lens, at a diatance from the focal plane that will provide proper focus.
		Doing this, as he did with my Olympus, without the camera, was by guesstimation, and it worked.
