I have another suggestion to determin the minimum aperature. First, get your hands on a roll of transparency film. I always use transparency film for exposure...
Rowan, I received the shutter yesterday, and I've opened it up. There was another problem besides the two you mentioned. The shutter speed mechanism was also...
Rowan, Thought you'd might like to know that I've got your shutter sorted out. It was a mess of damage in there. I think the self-timer must have jammed on...

Hey thanks for the info I'll just do what you did. So do they really only look cool they have to work better than my holga I bought one of those hoping to get...
I use mine as a film reminder, but it's only an approximate. I also cant use it of course if I have 400 speed film in it. The dial itself does nothing for...

Steven, Welcome! If you know the difference between sharp and blurry, and how to load film, work a manual shutter, turn a film advance knob, and read the...
Hi and welcome, as to my holga I have put a tripod mount in it, a cover over the film counter and opened it up to 6x6 but havent painted the inside. I was so...
You could always throw the Holga at the wall a few times and see if the special effects improve. You might also drill a few holes in it, if you like. These...

I have to admit I was scared that I would do something wrong or that maybe my camera would be no good, but they look awesome i couldnt be happier with them. ...
The Holga is supposed to be a toy. Its made with no concern for tolerances. Its supposed to be unpredictable. These are what which makes it perfect for toy...
Where did you take them for developing and how much did it cost? I'm trying to find the best deal on medium format processing. Right now I use Vermont Color...

Rowan, You shutter is on its way. The shipping was very cheap, and it's really a waste of time to ask you to reimburse me the shipping. You'd spend more on ...

Well, I'm a happy boy today. Mourning the loss of my now broken Seagull TLR, but being too poor to buy anything to replace it, I was thrilled when I found a...
I don't think the portra should be any more expensive than regular color film to process. As far as I know, you use the same C-41 chemicals for processing. ...
I buy film from, wherelse, ebay. At the right time, you can find it $1 a roll. There are always people on line selling for $2 a roll, which is way less than...
