Nice Toycam shots!
Been experimenting with the Holga since 2007 and doing strobist kind of portraits with it is real fun!

@mghong: thx, I use the classic model (with hotshoe).

@rafiqa: Thanks, I guess the word Holga is good for SEO then
I sometimes start to think that my Holga is actually a bit too good for a Holga. Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out later.

Hi bert. i just happen to come across your blog coz it has the word holga in it. hehe

i think u have a pretty good holga that gives u pretty balanced vignetting. mine does not promises such effect all the time. but i would sure like to discuss on holga more with you. of late, i have left my holga collecting dust, and have been entertaining LC-a for the past one year plus

mghong, in malaysia is easy to get holga. unlike fisheye2 which always happen to be out of stock. u can check on lomokids.com. a bunch of malaysian kids who are passionate about lomography they will tell u where to get it.

Thx Guys:

@Tim: Haven’t shot any B&W yet except for a test shoot to see how the Holga works in combination with studio flash.

@Glyn: I also love that nostalgic look

@Moritz: I got mine for 25 EUR (excl. VAT) from fotoimpex.de

beautiful atmospheres – i was considering getting a holga a while ago, but i never saw one for 25 bucks – looks like they all cost 40 or more, which is definitely on the edge for a plastic toy

Great shots Bert. I love the nostalgic feel that the camera gives…provokes all kinds of memories.

Thanks for posting.
Best wishes to you and yours,
Glyn

Nice images. Just yesterday I dusted off my Holga and stuffed a roll of B&W 400 in it. Thanks for the inspiration!
