Hi.

I understand that perly sells holgas.

But Im wondering if there are any other recommended retailers that carry it.

TIA.

if u are looking for some place cheaper... nah. perly's the best pricing ard town. dat is, short of buying it 2nd-hand.

you can get from perly from his website or send him a PM here in CS.

paisei... tot u didnt know perly sells them.

besides perly, you can try ruby photo. dunno if basheer at bras basah sells them also. kino has it but definitely the most expensive place to get from.

thanks for the pointers.

But I'd prefer a physical shop where i can shop around and ask more questions before my purchase.
I dont mind paying abit more.

So other than perly, any other shops?

For a cam like the Holga, I'm sure most (or all) of the questions are available online. You can even ask them here.

Just get from Perly. He's got the best price here. I am getting one from him too. Normally he meets his customer at cityhall on Friday. Very friendly guy, he'll answer all the question you have. If you wanna "touch-touch", go Ruby.

go to perly
he spent almost 20mins with me teaching me how to have fun with the holga!
how to load the film and how to take care of it too
=)

 

[ndroo]

how to take care of it too
=)

Eh! Need to take care one ah? Oh no, i just throw mine around :bsmilie: Dropped many times too ... still alive but also a bit upset the drop didn't gimme any light leak :embrass:

 

[gangeslim]

yah i stupid stupid one ma haha

 

[TrailsofLife]

Yah lah, no need to take care lah... the more faults it have, the more fun you get!

 

[ndroo]

yah i stupid stupid one ma haha

No lah ... maybe got some secret method he didn't teach the rest of us mah. Did he tell you the way to get ultra cool pics is to warm up the Holga with a lighter for 5 minutes? :bsmilie:

 

[frinchy]

perly's the guy man. next time if i ever get another holga from him again i better bring a tape recorder and record every single tip he gives me. haha

only problem is, at first, the flash was working when perly was demo-ing to me.

but then, after i loaded new batteries and the film, the flash stopped working!

lol.

my friend says maybe the battery is lose.
so i'll have to check again after i finnish my current roll of film.

hopefully its just a lose battery.

 

[gangeslim]

[kingkangkong]
