    Comments about Holga Polaroid Instant Film Back:

    The Holgaroid intant film back is amazing if you wanna take pictures and give them to your posibble models. For me is great when you surprise somebody in the right moment with a nice picture and image of the holga is very good if wanna see another kind of photography. You need to use a good flash because is really necessary for get the color tahta you want and it's better with films ISO 400

      Comments about Holga Polaroid Instant Film Back:

      Very easy to install onto the Holga body, and the pix are just super fun. Too bad the entire image area isn't used, but then the opening behind the lens of the Holga is 2 1/4 x 2 1/4.

      Comments about Holga Polaroid Instant Film Back:

      This is so much fun to use and really easy to put onto your Holga. B and H shipped quickly and I was very pleased with my purchase. The only downside is the film - Polaroid has discontinued square format instant film, so the picture only takes up about 3/4 of the frame of the rectangle film.I would recommend Fujifilm FP 100C for color pictures, and Fujifilm FP 100B for black and white. The photo quality is great. You just have to make sure to take out the black paper slide (handle located on the left side). I forgot this the first time using it and wasted about 3 pictures. And also keep track of the seconds using a stop watch (I use my cell phone's stop watch) to time your exposures.

      really easy to use, the viewfinder is a little dinky and falls off sometimes but who needs that anyway?

      Comments about Holga Polaroid Instant Film Back:

      I use it for small gatherings, it is a good small ice breaker. Specially in the age of digital people like the feel of old fashion photography. Though the only problem is that the lock comes loose, and it is a bit bulky for the small holga system.

        The polaroid back pictures have the authentic look that has characterised Holga cameras. The vigneting is perfect. All that you can expect from a Holga camera product.

        Comments about Holga Polaroid Instant Film Back:

        Bought this for a Holga and the two work great together. I'd be careful to handle the dark slide carefully because if you break it you might not be able to find replacement parts without buying a whole new back.

          Comments about Holga Polaroid Instant Film Back:

          The myriad of flaws (idiosyncrasies) introduced by the Holga itself are permanently and instantly realized with the addition of this 'Holgaroid' film back. Every shot is a captured moment in time, every frame a work of art, more often than not in ways I never intended.

          The plastic stick-on-adhesive rangefinder is next to useless, and promotes shooting from the hip, which is what Holgaroid is all about in the first place.

          Give me my Holgaroid and a limitless supply of instant film (sigh) and I'll live forever.

            the holgariod instant film back is one cool piece of kit. it took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to load the film in it. but as soon as i found out. i began taking images that turned out way cooler than i ever expected. i would recommend this to anyone who loves taking photographs.
