The HOLGA 120N Camera

In this day and age of $3000+ digital cameras and mind blowing 12,800 ISO I’ve decided to take a look back at film. A project that I’ve recently revisited involves a cheap and well known film camera, but not just any camera. This camera is less than $30, about 99% plastic, comes with light leaks from factory, one shutter speed, and only two apertures (one of which doesn’t work). This is none other than the Holga 120N!


This is the second Holga I’ve owned. The one pictured here is my newest one. It’s been modified to accepts both 120 and 135 (35mm) film and has two apertures (f11 and f22). Another modification I’ve performed to this camera is a custom foam gasket which seals the camera back and prevents [most] light leaks.


These photos were taken on the Holga using Kodak Ektar 100 film. These images haven’t been modified or “tweaked” in any way; only developed and scanned.
