Flash Holga
What kind of Holga camera should I get?
I’m torn between buying a
- Holga 120N medium format
- Holga 120PC Pinhole camera version
- Holga 120FN with built-in flash
He’s more interested in taking artistic photos, and even talked about spinning the camera when he made projects in art school. Would it be better if I get a slower shutter speed? Can you adjust the shutter speed in these cameras?
I have no idea what camera would he like the best, it’s a surprise gift and I have no way of asking what type camera he had before.
Please, please help me decide which camera to get
Also, what’s the difference between the two types of 120 films, slide and negative? Should I get colored or black & white?
Please keep in mind that the artistic aspect of Holga cameras is rather limited. These cameras produce a distinctive look due to their craptacular plastic lens… it’s basically $35 for a plastic toy camera. Unless you buy the pinhole version, in that case you don’t even get (or need) the lens.
Considering medium format film will end up costing over a buck per shot, the novelty might wear off soon.
Having said all that, I’d get the version with flash. It’s the most useful for general photography. The pinhole version has veeery slow shutter speeds so it’s really only good for landscape photography. And I’d get color negative film. (Negative film is for prints, slide film is for slide show projectors.)
The magic of Holas is really the method of photography. Shooting from the hip and all that. You can do the same with pretty much any film/Digital Camera and if you want the distinctive Holga ‘look’, just torture the bejesus out of the jpg files in Photoshop.
