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.

Holga 120N user review
Love this thing. Wish I had bought it years ago. I carry it with me most of the time. Simple, easy to use. Light weight and highly portable. And my Vivitar 285 flash works great with it. After shooting digital for three years, I decided it was time to shoot some film again. I had been wanting a Holga or Diana for some time. Got a good on-line price on the Holga and bought it. Shooting with it makes you stop and think. Like the soft focus, light leaks and all. Only thing I don't like is no "B" setting on the shutter for long exposures. But, I can live with that. If you're looking for a camera that's fun to use...get one. It's point and shoot all the way. I use 200 speed B&W film and it works well. I get the film processed and scanned at a pro photo lab and then Photoshop the scans. I'm looking for another one for color film.Read full review

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.

Flash back to Film with a Holga!
I love film photography and believe that no matter what, digital will NEVER come close to producing the same quality and exquisite photographs that film produces. The Holga, being a film camera is a PHENOMENAL way to 'slow things down.' Being a professional photographer, you may be working long hours, extended hours, basically stressing yourself out at times. The Holga slows photography down by taking you back to the roots of film photography. The Holga has only a few functions, but these FEW functions make people use it's limitations to their advantage. It accepts 120mm Film Color or B&W, but what I personally love is rigging the camera to accept 35mm film! This is just so much fun doing! The greatest thing about the Holga is that you're always subjected to the unknown. This means that "anything can happen" when you hit the shutter. The holga is known for it's mysterious vignetting and crazy mood lighting. There is just so much you can do with this plastic camera. Very easy to handle! I recommend it for any beginner to any professional! It is just a great way to further understand photography and realize that hey, you may know a lot about digital photograph, but you may be a "Newb" to film. It is just a spectacular way to slowwwww things down. It's just a magnificent plastic camera. Another thing that you could do is after you get prints with the camera, you can scan the prints and use photoshop, if you're into that stuff.Read full review

Retro, primitive, unpredictable, but great fun & occasionally artistic
I don't know what to do to get Ebay to fix the standard description for these. They are NOT SLRs and they are not "camera body only" they are complete cameras. Primitive, but complete. They are view finder cameras where the view finder actually shows less of the image the camera puts on film. The good news is I went back into film cameras after years of casual digital photography and have been having a lot of fun with "toy cameras" like the Diana F+, mini-Diana, and the Holga. The 120N Fuschia colored HolgaGlo model I bought from Adorama off Ebay is my 4th Holga, and had a bargain "buy it now" price for some reason so I couldn't resist. Maybe the extremely pink color turned people off? I like it a lot. Makes people laugh when they see it. When buying Holgas, it is helpful to read up on them. The older Holga 120S models you see a lot on Ebay really only have one working aperture setting because they were made so the larger adjustable aperture plate is actually behind a smaller fixed aperture at the back of the lense. The earlier 120Ns supposedly had the same issue, so you may want to do some research into how to make sure you are getting one of the newer ones with two real aperture settings. I understand one way to tell is if the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera is off to one side of the lense it is the older model. The older models can be fixed with a little work, but that is unpredictable too. I ruined one of the older style cameras trying to get 2 true aperture settings. Because the newest edition 120N has two aperture settings (F8 and F16 I am told) with a shutter speed options of more or less 1/100 or a "B" setting, a person has to be ready to deal with limitations. I adapted a Holga slip on filter mount they sell to hold colored filters to take a variable neutral density filter. This allows me to use ISO 800 film and darken the filter if I am shooting in bright light. A light meter is also helpful. Mine doesn't seem to have the light leaks they say Holgas often have, so I only put strips of gaffer tape over the clips that hold the back on to help keep them secure. There is always a little mystery in waiting to see what you will get in a Holga picture. The viewfinder shows a smaller area than you will get in a picture, for example. Light weight, lack of worry over damaging or losing an expensive camera, and the fun of experimentaiton are the positives. The cost of buying and having 120 film processed are drawbacks. $5 to as much as $9 for a 12 or 16 shot roll of 120 film, plus $10 for development and scanning, plus $4 for shipping a CD and negatives to you means if you shoot square 12 per roll shots, it will cost you more than $1.50 per picture, without any prints. That can get very pricy if you are used to digital where it costs essentially nothing to fill up a memory card. It does encourage the development of judgment in setting up your shots, making sure you have taken off the lense cap, etc., if you don't want to burn through film and cash. With practice, and patience these cameras can be a lot of fun and they are cheap to try at $30 to $50 for a brand new Holga. I would also suggest you may need to shoot a few rolls to get the hang of it and see if it is your kind of thing.Read full review

cheap and lots of fun
i though about buying holga recently. Thought about CFN and N models but decided to use hot shoe flash, because CFN flash works on really close distance. N model is really cheap and give all distortions you can imagine, such as vingetting and soft focus to corners. It comes with 6x4,5 frame but i prefer 6x6 it gives you all distortions working.I read about light leaks but don't got them on my holga even at sunny days. Easy to do multiply exsposure and vingetting comes stronger. few problems - you got to use only fast films because of fixed fast shutter speed 1/100 and fixed aperture around f/13. iso 100 is really slow even for sunny day i can tell. And second is - film really hard to reload, you cant do it without table or standing, its hard to put film in and its dangerous to put it out, place for exsposed shots is really tight, its just don't come out, few times exsposed film just popped from cam and my hands into the air and got a little light into, that thing i really dislike about holga. Holga is really easy to use, i have around 20 cameras and holga feels most comfortable. Shots came out fast roll after roll, you just shoot shoot and shoot. It gives you specific atmosphere. I can recommend Holga if you don't afraid of mainstream. (few of my friend really sarcastic about holga because of association of indie music and lomo)Read full review
