Holga - Medium Format 120N Film Toy Camera

		CAMERA [ CK ] modified Holga toy plastic camera TYPE Purchased & Modified FILM TYPE 120 (Medium format 120 roll film) If you're interested in Holga photography, you should also check my film and paper page for recommendations on what I think are the best films to use in this camera. NEGATIVE SIZE 6x6... NEGATIVE SIZE Plastic meniscus lens which often creates pictures that display vignetting, blur, light leaks, and other image distortions. FOCAL LENGTH 60 mm Date Created 1995 by Chris Keeney

In 1995 a good friend gave me my first Holga as a gift. She knew I was a photographer and thought I might enjoy working with this camera. Which as you can see from my pics, I have. Thanks Michelle! I've since added this big and ugly flash so I can better expose slower films with it.
The happy face sticker is there to remind me to advance the film after taking the shot. The colored string is a make shift camera strap. Not the most attractive customizations, but it all works well for me.
