📷 Holga 120 WPC Black Wide Format Film Lomo Camera: Panoramic Pinhole Camera Review

works well, but the rear latch, like all Holga, is weak. the aperture is not that small and sometimes makes exposure difficult. Overall, though, a great pinhole camera that's easy to carry when camping.

The Holga 120WPC is a classic pinhole camera. I gave it 3 stars for image quality but this is a pinhole camera and you should expect soft images - definitely NOT digitally sharp. Bubble level and cable release options are an improvement over the Diana F+. You get this camera for a variety of imaging opportunities. I hope they start making them again.

Pinhole photography isn't for everyone, but for those who like shooting without a lens, the Holga is a good camera. I recommend a few extra rubber bands to secure the back, tripod, and cable release to get you started. A quick web search on reciprocity also helps. This isn't my first Holga WPC, but it's my fault.

An ideal tool for developing and understanding shutter speed and aperture controls. Also, help the new student focus on composition. I've added some cyanotype black and white contact sheets from the film. Timing is everything to get the best shot. I recommend underexposure if you want to try it…

So far so good, I developed my first roll and ended up with some accidental overlapping double exposures. Some things to consider to avoid my mistake. The window on the back of the camera is labeled 16 or 12. If you need 6x9 negatives, point to 16. If you need 6x12 negatives, point to 12. Be sure to insert the correct insert. Something not specifically stated in the instructions is; If you rewind the movie to the next number in the window, only half the frame is moved. You need to wind up two…
