Re: [Cameramakers] Minox 35 in medium format????

Yes, I used a Holga as my first rollfim pinhole camera and it was a miserable experience. The film just flops around inside the thing. I had to tape up light leaks. And I used duct tape to hold the back on.   Larry -----Original Message----- From: Kelvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, January 11, 2001 5:48 PM Subject: Re: [Cameramakers] Minox 35 in medium format???? I'm not sure the Holga is the recommended body to use . One of the "prized " (or not so prized) qualities of a Holga is the light leakage. You may want to consider an old folding camera instead.... for example, old russian folders can be had for about US$30-60 ... maybe busted ones for less...then change the lens/shutter assembly. That's often a rangefinding camera, though.   Furthermore, the elementary design of the holga means that there is not way to assure film-flatness.
