sup /p/hreaksI 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.
0/10Sure is LAST YEAR around here.
>>211796Sure is FIFTEEN YEARS AGO here.-2/10 for thinking you heard about the Holga when it was new.
>>211794LOL my ex thought holgas were the shit b/c shes an indie wannabe, and got some pix developed.. extremely blown out, light leaks, not to mention the horrible composition. shit fucking sucked.
>>212052>my excongratulations

>>212059yeah.. i shudder to think i overlooked that kind of personality flaw.
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.
>>212139I can't wait for post-lomo.
>>212208+1You'll be able to get a holga for $2 again.

>>212260The 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?
>>212220If by 'laid' you mean 'bad handjob from a 15 year old with no tits', then by all means, please lomo.
>>212463>bad handjob from a 15 year old with no titsi thought you were supposed to compare it to something bad to make a joke
>>212263because holgas are based on dianas
>>212465Anon 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.
>>212473there's no desperation, flat-chested fifteen year olds are awesome
>>21221639 pounds for a holga? FUUUUUUUUCKwhy not buy a cheap m42 slr? if you want TEH LOMO look, put a shitty piece of scratched plastic in front of the lens
>>212572http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/invt/5559402681012&bklist=icat,5,shop,home,homecategories,photography£45 for a Diana. They must be raking in the cash.
>>212592yeah, 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.
