Featured here with a black finish, the Holga is best known for its standard-length 60mm f/8 plastic lens that produces a soft, dream-like aesthetic, which is further accentuated by the inherent vignetting and light leaks caused by the plastic body and simple construction. A choice between f/8 or f/11, or "cloudy" and "sunny", aperture settings is available, along with 1/100 sec. or bulb shutter speed settings and a zone focus system for focusing as close as 3' away.With a Ilford's HP5 Plus Black and White Negative Film is a traditional and versatile panchromatic film designed for general use in a wide variety of shooting conditions.

Review: Every Holga Lens Gives Different Effects - Unpredictable - I bought this to use in a college Photography II class for an assignment. I own a 50+ year old Diana which is a similar camera. The Holga despite being complained about being plastic is a lot more thick, durable, and well made than my antique Diana which literally falls open unless you tape it closed. Every Holga gets different effects due to the poor quality plastic lens. Mine had vignette on only two corners, no light leaks, and a fairly clear image throughout, with the absolute clearest a small circle at the center. I got no weird effects. I never taped my Holga as I wanted to see if it had light leaks. It was interesting in the class to see how many different effects happen all from new Holgas with existing lenses. I was able to do double and triple exposures. I actually wish my lens was more distorted especially at the edges but there are things I can do to modify it if I want to. Regarding the price I cannot complain as used antique plastic cameras like the Diana sell for a lot more. I used black and white Ilford 400 film and did my own developing and my own printing. Best results for single exposures are done outdoors in full sun. I didn't even bother to try to do an interior shot. I do not desire to use flash. Rating 5 stars = Love It.
Review: Ultimate Hipster Camera - This thing is about as low tech as you can get. Focusing is pretty much guess work. When it comes to exposure, you have basically two settings: sunny and shade/cloudy. It's very easy to accidentally double expose your film since there's no catch preventing it, you just manually advance it. It's all plastic and the back panel is held on by a two metal sliders so there's a chance of getting light leak. But all of that is probably the reason you're considering this camera to begin with. It's got a very distinct look/personality to it. I do like the film that came with it. That's what was used for the attached images. I will say though, that the numbering on the film was sometimes difficult to read through the red window on the back of the camera and I sometimes had to squint in order to see it. There are other films out there that have larger, thicker numbering that's easier to read but I do like the images from this film better.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this the actual holga 120 N or is this the holga 120 by sunrise?**
A: Mine is genuine, but Holga has been gone for a while, so today's models will probably be the revived brand.
But, what's the big deal? It's still a "Holga".

**Q: Why does it say Toy camera?**
A: If I am correct, this and the similar Diana were first manufactured as cheap toys for children

**Q: where would I be able to develop the film?**
A: https://www.ilfordlab-us.com/https://thedarkroom.com/product/120-film-developing/http://www.photolaboratory.com/pricelist-bw-film.htmare a few I got through Google search. Call local camera shops or Hunt's if you have one nearby.

**Q: does the film click into place?**
A: No, unlike 35mm, 120 film does not click into place.  The film must be rolled onto the take-up spool. There is a creased part of the film that slides into the slot of the take-up spool, then you can close the back, and wind the film into position for the first shot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Want to have fun again taking pictures?
*by J***5 on August 28, 2025*

I had one of these many years ago and lost it. But I got another one and found that it did what I hoped it would -- it freed me from "trying to make good photos" and allowed me to Play again, like when I was a kid and well, just loved to pick up a simple, fixed focus, fixed shutter camera and have fun. Now I'm having fun again! Remember, these Holgas aren't meant to be thought of as quality products; by most standards they're crap, but they do the job for very little money.
