I Love Holga!

No, she’s not my new Russian bride but a camera. Anyone who knows photography will know Lomography and this plastic ‘toy-like’ camera is really fun!

Colourful box containing the Holga. Boxes of film added for ‘dramatic’ effect. They don’t bundle the film with the camera, of course.

My new toy revealed! The Holga 135 35mm camera!

No LCD screen here! Just a simple viewfinder.

Simplicity in black.

Aperture control by way of a simple sliding mechanism. A hot-shoe is available in which any regular flash system can be added (no built-in flash on the Holga).

No need to worry about lens speed, aperture, etc. The lens has 4 simple settings for portait, small groups, large groups and landscape.

It’s been so long since I’ve used film! Film advance button by way of a wheel on the right. Forget to advance the film and you’ll get multiple exposures, which will give you very interesting results. Shutter speed is controlled when the shutter is held open for as long as you press the shutter release button.

Can’t wait to develop the film! Now, the only thing I have to do is to repair my printer/scanner, which somebody (looks at Ayeed) broke! :)
