So I got this Holga color flash camera for Christmas. Took it to a
family Christmas party and shot two rolls of TMAX 100 with the flash
on. The first roll was processed at iso 100 in Ilfosol S. Way
underexposed. The second roll I pushed to 400 in HC-110 dilution B.
It came out much better. This is pretty much a straight film scan.
Very minor contrast and highlight/shadow adjustment, and some of the
dust was cleaned up.

Needless to say, the Holga is an interesting little machine. The
viewfinder can't show more than 75%, the image isn't centered on the
film, and the flash is a bit underpowered. Then again, I can't really
expect much from a $30 camera. But I think I have figured out how to
focus using the little pictures on the lens. <g>

I like the vignetting. It reminds me of Being John Malkovich. $30 is a
good price for a Holga. The Lomo shop here in Sydney charges $A110,
although you do get a book of Holga pics and a roll of non-residue
opaque tape (lol).
I went Russian over the break too...got myself an Arsat 30mm fisheye
with a Mamiya 645 adapter (need to dremel the adapter to stop it
interfering with the aperture pin :( ), and a Horizon 202 just arrived
from Russia today.
