Light leaks are indeed part of the charm of the Holga. I may try to find and fill those two holes - the leak apparently hit the frame in at the bottom of the film chamber, since it shows up on the top of the photos. In a properly developed neg, there is just a big white blob in the exact same spot on each shot. I bought a 6x6 insert off eBay and will try that once it gets here. Continuing with fun camera adventures - two recent ebay purchases arrived today. One is an Argusflex 75 TLR - I need to find a 620 spool and re-spool some 120 to try it. I paid $3 for it and realized I'll probably pay more for each roll of 1film! The other is a Kinoflex TLR modified to be a pinhole (the lens was removed and replaced with a pinhole.) being a TLR it is an easy to aim pinhole (for pinhole action shots...)
