A Classic Cult Camera

The Holga Camera apparently originated in China, about 1982. Still, being manufactured (in several versions), its basically an inexpensive plastic toy camera. It has has light leaks and lens flares that make it an artistic photographer's cult favorite. The Holga produces some exceptionally dramatic and appealing photographs on 120 roll film, in either 6x4.5 or 6x6 format.

The allure of the Holga is also that you have to actually make certain modifications, to allow it to take photographs. In other words, the back can fall off, thus destroying an entire roll of film. Its plagued with faults and flaws that makes each Holga as different as a snowflake, as well as the photos it produces.

The Holga comes in the original version, as well as one with a flash. Holga purists seem to shy away from the flash model.

Reportedly over 250-thousand Holga Cameras have been sold in 20 different countries.

The Holga allows a photographer to explore the world of medium format photography, in a highly unique and artistic fashion, for a mere few dollars.
