Holga

[wrapping furnitures]

does anyone here use a Holga? or is a toy camera enthusiast?

 

[rueyloon]

around 12 holgas will be arriving in singapore... about 2 weeks time

It's a "toy" 120-format camera. One of it's touted features is that each unit might have some amount of light leak.

those are pre-ordered units by the pple here who were interested in it. I believe they bought it off the web as well.

i see.....and its cheaper to order in bulk too! i ordered mine from www.lomo.com.... cost around S$75. perhaps we should start a toy camera photography forum as well. :gbounce:

I had a lomo cybersampler but the film advance mechanism spoilt after lending it to a friend. Prob the spring broke. The camera is known for poor quality control. It was a complete lemon even when still working. Some people are really mad with lomo becoz it hypes up the cameras and sells them at exhorbitant prices. That said, I still like toy cameras, but will not pay and arm and a leg for them anymore, and definitely will never buy anything lomo or from the lomo site.
Hope you have better luck with the Holga.
