Holga Lomography Anonymous
sup /p/hreaks
I was just fagging around on eBay and came across this little wonder called the Holga. Its a cheap line of dinky little plastic 120 film cameras, but produce wonderfully vintage looking photos when not in the hands of a 14 year old emofag. I was wondering if anybody on /p/ has had some experience with these. If you have, pix plx?

They can be a lot of fun and can give you some interesting images, but expect to have to do some work on it to get anything consistent. Expect light leaks, internal reflections, etc out of the box.

lomos are pretty awesome, IMO. it's just the indie/hipsters that use it ruin it for me.

i want one, though.

I have one. I took it apart and lol'd at the sunny/cloudy switch that does nothing. I taped it up and loaded some film, but haven't shot with it because it costs too fucking much to develop. One of these days, I'm going to jam some cardboard or something in there and load some 35mm. Maybe when all these emofags grow up and move onto something else.

The real what exactly?
Cheap piece of shit camera with a wobbly lens that can barely focus much less do a proper exposure?
How is a Diana any more real than a Holga?

If by 'laid' you mean 'bad handjob from a 15 year old with no tits', then by all means, please lomo.

Anon is more desperate than I thought.

Incidentally, has anyone ever had a GOOD handjob? I've found that without being able to feel what is good technique and what isn't, women just don't have a chance of out-wanking you.

£45 for a Diana. They must be raking in the cash.

yeah, sometimes I'm ashamed to admit I shop there sometimes. LC-As are like $250, ugh.

I go there for the clothes, though. Whenever they get new stuff in the discounts can be amazing. Like, $4 jeans marked down from $80 kind of awesome.
