Holga 120 PC Pinhole Camera
The Holga 120 PC Pinhole Camera is tons of fun. This lens-less camera has a tiny pinhole in the front and is operated by pressing the shutter release, holding it open for however long you choose and making long exposures. No focus decisions at all!
Make long exposures at night (several hours) or short ones (1 second) but you must make the decision about how long to keep the lens open. Mount the camera on a tripod and shoot!
Because of its ability to deliver extensive depth-of-field, the foreground and background will almost always be in focus. Images will be soft with a dreamy, reverie quality about them. Because it uses larger film (120 format), images will be sharper than traditional Holga 35mm pictures.
Pinhole Image System
- Every exposure is long (2 seconds to 30 minutes or longer)
Uncoupled Advance and Shutter
- Shoot one frame and advance or leave it alone and shoot multiple images on the same frame
- Shoot part of a frame as well - advance film partially
Standard Tripod & Thread
- Fit a tripod on the bottom for long exposures

Comments about Holga 120 PC Pinhole Camera:
This camera makes pinhole photography easy. And it's got the option for a square format, which I love. It's light, yea, it's a bit flimsy, but I see it as a chance to not be too concerned about perfection. You'll need a tripod of some sort.
It's the opposite of digital. Slow, film, etc.

Comments about Holga 120 PC Pinhole Camera:
This plastic camera offers a fun new way to take pictures. I use it in my photography class and it works great! The pinhole offers a new view and it's inexpensive so it won't strain your wallet! Know that you must wind the film more than it says, otherwise your photos might overlap.

I brought the camera to the Smokey Mountains last weekend and it was very easy to use - though I'm somewhat familiar with pinhole camera's, it's been some time since I've used one! I'm waiting to get the film back so I'll have to update the review when I see what the final product looks like!

Comments about Holga 120 PC Pinhole Camera:
So far I've only shot a couple rolls of film with it, but I'm having alot of fun with it. Breaking outside the box and using a camera like this really helps you be so much more creative and adds a little something special to your photography. I definitely reccomend it!
