Had a Lomo Diana F+ previously which broke so decided to replace it with a Holga. The Holga is generally cheaper and sturdier than a Diana. The Holga has a harder, thicker case; the fittings are also more secure. However, it didn't make it heavy at all and its small, light size fits easily into a coat pocket. The photographs produced were no different to those created by my Diana camera so I would say that if I were to choose between the two, I would choose a Holga over a Diana.
this is a beautiful, easy to use, great camera. although it was originally meant to be used as a toy camera, it now has a large community of fans who love to use it for it's unique qualities and for the unusual pictures it produces. I recommend it to anyone who loves photography and loves experimenting with different kinds of cameras and different kinds of film. I also advise you to buy a 35mm adaptor kit, so you can use 35mm film and not be limited to 120mm film, which is more expensive and has less frames in it (usually between 8 and 12, compared to the 35mm, which has 36 frames). nonetheless, it's a lot of fun using the 120mm film - you'll get very interesting photos and it also allows you to blow up the photos in a much higher quality.
A wonderful & fun experience with this simple plastic camera! The 120 film photo images have far more personalty & show much more mood & style than the super sharp images of digital cameras these days. Plus film is a very stable material to save photos a very long time! And negatives can be scanned for image use on a computer or the internet. this model of Holga has an extra B setting for keeping the shutter open for as long as one would wish for low light & night shots. Also there is a clear flash for low light or it can be switched to three other colors for creating effects with color film. Tavius Grant.
This camera offers me the freedom to do whatever I want with my film. It is very simple to do a double exposure or an extended exposure, also I can add color flash if want to spice a picture up. The only downside is having to use 120 film, it's a little hard to find and develop, but 100% worth it. All in all a great camera and buy
for me, i have one and i used the flash not over 10 times. this model you spend less money than the top one GCFN but i think the quality of picture is not quite different unless you close up the picture. So, i agree with this model compare to the GCFN. Just only my opinion.. thanks
