So I started looking around on the internet to see about buying a Holga camera so I can try to understand what the Holga phenomena is all about – right? Well first of all there are apparently many different versions of this cheap plastic camera. The basic version of the Holga, the 120N, can be bought online for under $30. Then there is the 120GN which has a glass lens instead of the cheap plastic lens (though apparently it still has just as many defects of the plastic lens). There’s one that shoots 35mm film instead of the 120 roll film. There’s one with a flash, a twin lens reflex version and yet another is a pinhole version (presumably with no lens at all). There’s even a 3D stereo version. Oh, and if you don’t like the basic black camera you can find them in any number of colors like red, purple, green and blue and I have even seen a couple multicolor ones. I especially like the one that comes in bright blue, red & yellow.
…and hey, I have a birthday coming up!
