Lomography cameras are very fun, and not meant to take the perfect photo. I recommend it for people who want to start shooting film, especially for 120 film. Eventually, you will decide whether you want to shoot medium format film, or revert back to digital/phone photography.
I think it’s cool to photograph modern things like cities and cars and parks with older cameras. It gives them such a cool feeling like a mix from the future and the past
Been a lomographer since early 2000s and I have several analog cameras like Holga, Diana+, Lomo LCA+ and a few action cameras and Pop9. It has been collecting dust since 2014 when I no longer had access to film processing studios. Lately I got a Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo and somehow it captured the aesthetic of my lomography days. It brought me nostalgia. However, it will still not replicate completely what I have experienced with my lomo cameras from the past. But it tries and I’m happy with that at least. Lately, I have started to revive my old digicams of the mid-2000s (those with CCD sensors where it produces a bit of film-like images from the shots.) Again, it does not completely mimic what I feel with my lomo cameras but I just think of it as a tribute to my lomo era. I’m fine with that for now.
You can shove Instax film in lots of cameras and then swap the film back in a dark room. I’ve been experimenting with old cameras by using this method. Way cheaper than processing film 🫡
Great piece! I've been a very active member of the analog community for many years, and a strong supporter of Lomography products, but this was the first I heard about their direct "collaboration" with Putin. That kind of blew my mind. Super interesting video, thanks for sharing. (Buuuut... at 2:57 you mention 120mm film, which doesn't exist. It's just called 120.)
2:49 There's no "120mm film": 120 is the Kodak three-digit code for a rollfilm of that particular specification. 3:12 There's no "analogue photography" as "analogue" is not the opposite of "digital". When quartz watches became available, there were two display types: digital, and a dial with hands which was analogous to the established mechanical watches, thus "analogue display". Therefore, the term "analogue photography", viz. "film photography as an analogue to film photography", makes no sense. The Holga-style photography was a more modern incarnation of the first Diana photography wave, started by an American photography teacher: she wanted to free her student from getting distracted the camera operation side, so they could concentrate on taking pictures. The rest, as they say, is history. Lomography was started by two Austrian marketing students who became exceedingly wealthy, but the flip side is that they gave the public the wrong impression that film photography is inherently of very poor quality.
Arts and beauty are in the eye of the beholder, so any photo can become a piece of art because you think it is. In reality, you don’t need to buy any of the old cameras to create the blurry effect that you want. Just manually adjust the shutter speed, aperture, the ISO on your current camera. And yes, you can shake your hand while taking the photo too!
This video is actually genuinely underated and this is actually the actual real China that the actual American and British BBC propaganda mainstream media actually don't show you is actually really like and actually capable of actually doing and damm
As a Cantonese from the UK... I never knew the association... No wonder HK was so full of entrepreneurial mindsets..... I'm beginning to connect more now to my parents and grandparents era. I have my father's old camera. As well as some of my old plastic cameras from the 1980s too. :)
This is so dumb. You could do the exact same thing on the filter and not have to buy film. Funny how people strive for imperfection when they can just set a filter for it.

That interviewed person seems so happy about the camera, seems like a cool guy

Brilliant episode .
Its like impressionism in a can.
Love the episode. Much better than Mill Milks episode on the same subject
I had one of these as a child in the 80's
This is actually a great explanation.
holga was made in hong kong.. something new i learned today
Now I get why kodak went bankrupt... I had no idea. And the association isn't there.... I hope that Kodak continue to remake these old films again.
Hongkong no.1 🇭🇰

i love holga
the Holga is my favorite toy camera
