Hey ppl, i just encountered a problem. Hmmm, lets put it this way, i just bought my Holga Fisheye Adapter from Lomography.com. Yeh, received a few days ago and completed a full Holga Fisheye 35mm roll on it. And guess what the pics tat came out weren't fisheye style. Like the circle or a curve shape picture. My pics gallery: http://www.flickr.com/photos/e-return/page2/. Realli wondering why ? FYI, i am using a 35mm insert for my holga. Realli need some help, thanks.

maybe cause the size of film too small. the holga is designed for use with 120 film mah. so instead of getting the full effect of fisheye you get the middle portion. its like using 1.6crop factor dslr with a lens for full frame.

did u load ur holga with 120 film or 35mm film? u must remember the holga's lens was originally designed to cover the 120 film, not 35mm. hence u might not get the same results.

Bro, I think it work best with 120. To get a better fisheye view of an object, get bloody close to it cause the lens is super wideee..



More from my fisheye Malacca trip here.

i think 120 format is perfect for holga. the large neg means less enlargement for the print.
once u see the 120 ned/pos, 135 quite lame.
