Well, I got a new camera. This one is a Holga 120S, which I bought from Amazon.com\/Calumet for $16.99. I also got a couple rolls of color film and b&w film. I first saw pictures taken from a Holga on TrekEarth<\/a> and wondered how the photos were taken. I saw the names “Holga” and “Diana” and did an Internet search on them. I found out that they are medium format (120 film) toy cameras, made almost entirely of plastic, even the lens. They are cheap, non-precision instruments, and no two are exactly alike. The camera is not 100% light-proof, and each camera’s lens is different, so the pictures will have a truly unique look to them. I have taken a couple photos, and I have it set to take 6×6 sized images, for a total of 12 to a roll. My only problem with this camera (and rangefinders) is that I sometimes forget to take the lens cap off. Usually a few minutes after I take a photo, I wonder if I had the lens cap off, which is not a problem using an SLR. Here are a couple of good sites on the Holga and it’s brethren:<\/p>\n

In other camera news, I got back a roll of b&w film from the lab and it was a complete wash. The negatives were blank. I’m not sure what went wrong, or even which camera I used with that film. I just dropped off a roll of color film that I took with my Himatic-F, so we’ll see if those turn out ok. It kind of seems like the film was not being advanced. But all my cameras except one (which I am sure I didn’t use) have manual advance and rewind, so I can be pretty sure I rewound an entire roll of film. It’s a mystery…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
