Holga 120 Color Flash Camera

Oh HOLGA, how I love thee! Two words for this camera: Lomographic fantastic! Great for photo lovers of all ages. If you don't know about Holga or Lomography, Google it before purchasing this, so you know what you're getting. If you know about them, and you're considering getting this: do it. The prices have been steadily going up over the years - get it now before the price skyrockets to DianaF+ prices. The flash is great too - I love having the different colors - and if you do half of one color and half of another, you get a picture that has 1/3 of each color, with the middle of the photo being the color combination of those (red and yellow = orange, etc). Despite being plastic, this camera is quite sturdy. I even had a 1 year old pick it up and throw it on the concrete - the lens popped off a little - I just screwed it an it popped back into place. Enough rambling - I love this baby. If you're a lomo nut or a lomo noob, you will too.

This camera is a lot of fun. It's nice to actually use real film, wait to develop it, and have those nice saturated beautiful medium format shots. It can be kind of tough to find places to develop this type of film, and it can be expensive! I'd suggest learning to develop it yourself if you can...

It looks like a joke, people might not belive you are taking a real picture (specially if someone is ussing a big fancy digital SLR at your side) but that will give you amazing shoots. You will never know what are you getting on the film until you englare it the amount of control is really limitted but that is what will give you the great images you might get. It is really easie to use and you can even use 35mm film with just some extras you will certainly find at home. It will give you lots of fun and good pics. The only problem now is getting a good lab that will process the films (the digital boom might have made some labs to stop processing films) This is a great bought.

This is a very fun camera. I bought it for the girlfriend as her first film camera, because of it's simple controls, and always visually interesting images. It does not perform well inside, or in low light. But it's glorious out in the sun, or with a heavy direct flash. (a direct hot shoe flash will just make the already noticeable vignette even more noticeable). The construction is pretty solid, considering the entire thing is made of plastic. She's never really made use of the onboard flash, so I can't say much to that. Long story short, I love this camera! I'll continue to shoot with my Holga for years and I'll never get tired of it.

Pictures are amazing when they turn out... cheaply made but i still love my holga!

My holga arrived back in March to my parents house as I was out of town and hadn't gotten back till a month ago. I was so excited to use it but had to push back the time as there is limited places in my town that sell the correct film. so now it's September I've been fiddling with it for days and finally have film and batteries in, mind you this is the first time I've tried to use it and for whatever reason new batteries do not turn on the flash. I have the aperture set to N, the cloudy lighting flash and I turn the flash on in the back and it just doesn't whir or light up. it's obviously broken. I'm well passed the refund date. That said, the camera hasn't been touched and has been handled with care and yet the prime feature of this camera is a dud. I'm stuck with a $40 hunk of plastic. woo.

This Camera is Amazing & Cheap. Just a few comments about its packaging, i love to see some improved package on this with some colorful booklet and manuals. The rest is fine, the camera itself, Holga delivers dreamy Lomo Image.

Lets face it ...there are lenses for your digital camera that make it seem like a Holga...but the results are nothing like a Holga camera This little camera gives great Holga results and I really like the color flash...you can use just the white flash or use the red , blue or yellow or even make the flash a couple different colors at the same time...this can be done with both color film and black and white film...lots of fun to experiment with . i find it important to carry a little notebook so you can record how each of your images were shot so you can figure out what you like and to duplicate those results at a later date
