About this product

Product Information

The Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Camera may have captured the spirit of 1980s and 1990s culture. The extremely lightweight and simple plastic Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Camera and lenses, can give artists and models the spontaneous, fun feeling of working with toy cameras, yet the medium format film can create beautiful photography. Medium format film can create a much richer image and more vivid color than 35mm film. The film shape can give images an appealing and characteristic square composition. However, most medium format film cameras available before the Holga was released could be extremely expensive. The release of the inexpensive Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Camera created a medium format camera for street artists, students, radicals, and punks. They created a body of work establishment type photographers could never have imagined. Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Cameras continue to have vintage lo-fi, anti-digital appeal and can create beautiful images with the signature pop style known as Lomography. The Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Camera was so cheaply manufactured that film is subject to occasional “light leaks.” These light leaks can often be patched or repaired, but the distortions they create often add more to the image than they take away. The light leaks, vignettes, blurs, and other effects can add to the signature style of each individual camera and photographer. The Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Camera film advance mechanism is completely manual. You can create artistic double exposures by shooting repeatedly without advancing the film. You can make simple adjustments to the plastic camera body with tape, paint, etc to “hack” your Holga and customize the Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Camera effects. Film masks in the camera body adjust the frame image size. The Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Camera can be easy to mount with accessories. The hotshoe mount accommodates various flash accessories and the body has a standard tripod mount. The lens accommodates a variety of Holga filters. A simple dial on the Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Camera lens focuses the camera. The 60mm lens aperture options are f/8 and f/11. The shutter speed options are 1/100 sec or longer exposure for flash or low light shooting. Classic night street images have been created with a Holga, mounted on a tripod and shot at a long exposure. Holga photographers typically adjust their film ISO choice to the project. The Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Camera can be a pop culture icon in its own right. With the Holga 120N Medium Format SLR Film Camera you can create unique images using manual technology.

  • Camera works well, but the color is off.

    The camera functions quite well. The only issue I have is that the color isn't like what was shown in the photo. Instead of the bright, lemony, yellow-brick-road yellow shown in the photo, it is a darker yellow with a murky green undertone. If it were half a shade greener and it would've been booger green. I ended up painting over it.

  • It's a Holga

    As Holga's go, this is a favorite. They are pretty rugged. I use them because of their quirky quality, and they have photos like no other camera. The lens is slow and not very sharp, there is only one shutter speed, and sometimes, the back wants to come open. The purpose is not to have a great camera, If I want that, I use one of my Nikons. This is more of an "Artsy" camera, and fun to use. It's also great as a first camera for children is you want to teach them about film photography.

  • It's a Holga: perfectly imperfect.

    I purchased this as a gift for my friend who I wanted to try out film photography and so far she has loved it. Ebay asks if it has good image quality or if it's reliable except being a Holga, of course it doesn't have good image quality and it's reliably unreliable because of the light leaks but that is nothing to worry about. It is still a fantastic camera because of its many quirks and I would recommend it to anyone who has any remote interest in film photography and has a budget to stick to.
