I've got a Holga 120s sitting on top of my fridge at home. I should really use up the Tmax 400 film I have in it.
They're fun toy cameras - plastic, all plastic, wonderful beautiful black plastic - 1/100 fixed shutter speed. f8 fixed aperture. The 120s has a hot shoe that actually fires off my vivitar 283 or 2800 nicely. The shots aren't all that bad that come out of it either - using the flash it usually produces suprisingly good results for a $40 CDN camera. Currently in Toronto you can get them from a couple places - Downtown Camera has a stock of them and Harry's Pro Shop has them as well. There's a huge number of links online regarding them - The one pictured on the polaroid japan site is a standard 120s Holga with a Polaroid back. Makes sense (I guess) since Polaroid backs are popular and have been used for quite some time on many Medium Format Cameras (although AFAIK there's not one for the Pentaxi). I wonder what they charge for that... if it's more than $40 CDN, I don't think it's worth it seeing as how the camera itself is cheeeeeeeeeeeeaply made :) Cheers, Dave Original Message: ----------------- From: Evan Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2002 16:06:28 -0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT: Polariod Holga >From the Polariod Japan site. http://www.polaroid.co.jp/product/business/holga/holga_120s.html Anyone heard about this being available in the states?
