I don't have any photos of the camera. There are instructions
on the web on how to take apart the holga shutter and convert
it for long exposures, but I just use the lens cap. (Or, if you
want a shorter focal length, use the traditional black electrical
tape as a shutter.

Your right, they don't look all that souped up. I like your extended Waco
camera was hoping they would have a 6x9 but I guess I'll just have to
follow your lead and make my own. Perhaps I'll make a 6x12 so that it fits
in a 4x5 enlarger. Maybe I'll even try one with the holga lens. It covers

Just curious... I went to that site you mentioned and it does not have
prices... or an area to purchase - hmm. Is the site new?

Where do you buy Woca's and how souped up are they?
Maine Photo Resourse, according to Tokina, will soon have the Holgas with
glass lens and flash.

I actually converted my Holga into a 32mm focal length pinhole. Great images.
Works very nicely as a super wide-angle. I love the name PinHolga.

In fact, many seriouis Toy Camera photographers consider the
Holga plastic lens to be TOO sharp (hence the use of sandpaper).
This drives the price of genuine Dianas to well over $100 (US) and
led me to coin the name PinHolga several years ago on one of the

Or put nail polish, clear lacquer, etc...
Then you can also put clear acetate inside the film compartment and write on it,

Guillermo,
I know -- I've been using various plastic contraptions for a while now,
but still found the Woca's lens just plain crap, as compared to the
'atmospheric' effect you might get with some of the other cameras. My
pinhole conversion acutally made the camera a great deal sharper (except

I bought mine in a second-hand store in Krakow, Poland.
Souped up means they have a glass lens (worse than the plastic one in

in the frame)

In January, 1997, Shutterbug had a story on a Longfellow 6x17
panoramic camera, including instructions on how to assemble one. It
is made of two diecast 6x9 rollfilm camera bodies, carefully cut and

film to numbers 2-4-6-8.

Hey Simon,
What a neat camera! Looks like a stretched camera. The metal clamps on the
side remind me of the Holga, but obviously that's something else.
