2025 Holga Week Challenge for Dave -- shoot *1* roll of 120 film in *ALL* of your Holga 120 cameras (yes, shoot a few frames in one, swap the film to another and shoot some in that and continue swapping to other cameras!) -- I guess that you could do something similar with your 135 Holgas, but that would be a bit more difficult! I think that with a Holga, you can remove the 120 roll, on both spools, without moving the film forward/backwards, and transplant the entire thing into another Holga -- in a changing bag of course!!!
@@theoldcameraguy -- You can do it! I have faith in you!!! 🤣 Waiting for this weekend when it will be sunny to take out my GCFN (decorated with film stickers) and Lomo Turquoise....
Never had a desire to get a Holga, maybe because of the plastic lens. I do have a Isoly IIa which I bought from Germany. Need a sunny day for this camera! I put film in it a couple months ago but forget about it until watching this video, will take it out today!
I have the 35mm as well. It has been sitting in my car for several months with film in it. It is the second time I am using it after buying it a long time ago. Where did you get the seals material from and was it hard to install in your 120 holga? It is something Id be interested in doing to one of my holgas. I made a makeshift pressure plate out of the cardboard box that 120 film comes in. It is hard to turn so I am probably doing something wrong,.
Love my pinhole Holga

“Challenge” being the key word here 😂

The Holga 120 GCFN has a glass lens. Give that a try
got my 120s from a charity shop for a fiver. its now covered in black tape to try and block out the many light leaks!
Nice score Don!

The Holga 120N comes with the foam installed
@@theoldcameraguy Mine are older models I assume because none of them have the foam.
@@thevoiceman6192Yes, my 120S doesn’t have the foam either
