It's not for me of course - I have a friend who may also be Holgaholic........
The idea of using their special cable release with such a basic camera is mind blowing - can't wait to see the results of long exposures with a plastic lens - but at these prices it's good value and a huge amount of fun.
Perhaps we need a thread for all the results from the "Xmas Harman-Holga Bonzer Bonanza" - could be great fun to see everyone's efforts
that's just how I roll
Great idea! Though mine's going to the Mrs as a fun little present, so I hold no responsibility for the photographic quality, or lack of lol.
Although if she does well, I'll claim them as my own
- but it could be a lot of fun for anyone able to make it to Portsmouth and have a Holga experience.
LOL Danny - Hmmmmmmm "Holga" and "photographic quality" in the same sentence - Hmmmmmmmm
I'm seriously thinking of seeing if there is enough interest to organise a Holga day in Portsmouth in the New Year - everyone I've mentioned this camera and offer to has been asking to see it, have a go with it and see the results.
No pressure then
As a result of this thread, I found out for the first time there is a thriving Holga shop in Southsea and they staged a Holga exhibition last month which I knew nothing about and missed the event on my doorstep - Bah humbug!
Still, they are doing the same again in the Spring so plenty of time to get some practice in and see how the plastic lens and lo-fi camera build quality can be used to best advantage.

Though seriously, who knows what the sync will be....?

As it happens, there's a very big box of lights sitting in the hall right now. It literally has your name on it. Me? I guess I'll have to see how the Holga does with the Brons......
[BTW I'm starting to realise why I stay out of the film forum - you're all maaaaaaad!]
You've bought a holga too? You fit in better than you think
JonathanRyan said:No. I bought two Holgas
BTW been reading up and apparently the flash will fire twice - once when you press the shutter and once when you release it. You might need to cover the lens before releasing the shutter if your flash cycles quickly.
JonathanRyan said:Oh - I thought it meant as you took your finger off the button.
Worth a test before risking a precious roll of film
BTW will I be all good with one for square and one for non square? Or do I need to have multiple bodies for different ISOs? What if one of them fails at a wedding?
