Holgas and Fisheyes and Phones - oh my!
Discussion
Whilst in the US last week I stumbled across a shop selling "lomo" cameras, and was sucked in by the funky packaging and so £70 lighter I walked out with one of these
- a Holga 120 CFN, with flash, and "free" roll of fuji superia. My £70 also picked me up a 35mm fisheye film camera - maybe a bit too gimmicky, time will tell;
As if digital photography wasn't an expensive enough I'll now have to contend with processing costs on 120mm and 35mm film... gulp. At least I didn't have to splurge £££ on a Hassleplonk or Brontosaurica to find out I'm shit with film!
And finally, since it has a camera on it, I'll show you my other latest toy, an HTC Kaiser (otherwise known by about 200 other names)
so now I can look at PH from anywhere!
It replaces a SE K800 - better in many ways but the camera on first attempt seems to be a bit sub standard. hey ho, it's got tomtom installed so it's a cool gadget in my books!
That's all folks
Edit to add - part of my reason for posting this was I'm pretty sure a couple of our forum regulars have Holgas - if you do have one how do you get on with it?
