Holga 120GCFN Medium Format Film Camera
Key Features
  • Classic Toy Camera
  • Built-In Flash with Spinning Color Wheel
  • 60mm f/8 Glass Lens
  • Zone Focusing System
An update to one of the most iconic toy cameras available, the Holga 120GCFN is characterized by its distinctive image quality as well as a unique built-in flash with a spinning color wheel. While the original Holga is best known for its standard-length 60mm f/8 plastic lens, this version features a glass lens construction for slightly greater sharpness and contrast while still retaining the cherished dream-like aesthetic and inherent vignetting and light leaks caused by the plastic body and simple construction. A choice between f/8 or f/11, or "cloudy" and "sunny", aperture settings is available, along with 1/100 sec. or bulb shutter speed settings and a zone focus system for focusing as close as 3' away. The built-in flash contributes to the toy camera aesthetic due to its built-in spinning color wheel, which can be set to red, blue, yellow, or standard white settings for creatively colored highlights. A tripod mount is also incorporated into the base of the camera for stable long exposure shooting in low-light conditions. A camera designed to bring the fun back to photography, the Holga is a classic toy camera capable of making some remarkable, yet inherently lo-fi photographs.

What is the default frame size? 6 x 4.5cm? I lost the insert and don't remember what the size is without the insert.
Asked by: Alex
If you go maskless, you'll get shots a little wider than 6cm, and your shots will overlap at the edges. It can look pretty cool.

Because of the glass lens, do the images made with this camera look significantly different from the 120N with the plastic lens?
Asked by: Seth
Yes. The glass lens in the Holga 120GCFN Medium Format Film Camera does improve the image quality slightly versus the lower cost plastic lens 120N camera.
