Holga 135BC 35mm Bent Corners Film Camera

Product Information

The Diana Mini can be a bit more expensive if you want the flash included, so if you do want a flash, that is worth considering however I don't think it's completely necessary for either camera to have one as they both work better in natural light anyway. The Holga may be bereft of even the most basic features most normal cameras have, but it’s still good to know what it does have, and where it all is.

I felt ashamed by my rather haughty dismissal of a camera I had never seen, and I promptly got myself one. At the time, the only one I found available was used, but it seemed pretty serviceable. I had been working on a long-time project of shooting old storefronts (still am), modelled after James and Karla Murray on the old storefronts of New York City. On the top there’s a hot shoe for an external flash, and we also have that notorious aperture switch. Just like the 120 version, it technically works, but both apertures are the same. Should make for easy modding I would hope. The lens barrel (if you want to call it that) has the same outer dimensions as the 120 version, so all accessories should fit like a glove. I love it when manufacturers do that! The Inside This is how the vignetting is created: there's a translucent cut-out mask 1cm behind the lens This camera is simple. It has one shutter button, a fixed wide angle lens and that is it. The colours are vivid with great vignetting and the results can be fun as well are artistic. If you're worried about all the settings on the Diana Mini or Holga 135bc then perhaps this is the camera for you, although you can't do multiple exposures. This camera is cheap and also comes in a fun variety of colours.With that fixed shutter speed, I’d recommend loading an ISO 400 film for more leeway with the light. With that viewfinder, I’d recommend thinking of it as a rough guide rather than an accurate representation of what you’ll get. The plastic lens and soft-focus effect produce images that have a dreamlike, vintage quality that is difficult to replicate with other cameras. The resulting images often have vignetting and light leaks that add to their charm and character. Creative control

It was when I saw the image below that I knew I had found my perfect camera for the old storefronts project. Finally! This was the style of image I wanted for these disappearing places full of character and individuality. Holga 135BC, Lomography Color Negative 400 film. The old photostore in downtown Portland, Oregon. I’ve had my eye on this camera for a while – like every Holga Nut I imagine… who could resist the temptation of another Holga, especially if it’s different to the ones we know and love? Unlike its big brothers, this one takes standard 35mm film and produces 24x36mm negatives – easily processed on the High Street.

Holga 135BC Specifications

It’s a fully manual camera that requires the user to set the exposure and focus themselves. This allows for a greater level of creative control over the images and encourages experimentation with different settings. Lightweight and portable The word pivot is used a lot in tech and start-up circles today, but it’s really nothing new. In fact, it’s exactly what Holga did when their Chinese dream died.
