What a coincidence, I just bought a Holga yesterday; didn't know about the anniversary.

this smile heals me! lovely photos, good retelling of the story (speaking as a long time holga nut) and I'm glad to help keep the holga rocking in the free world~ thanks for another great vid!

My childhood neighbor gave me a Holga, and that was my first introduction to 120 film. It changed my world.

I love the idea of these “toy cameras” but they dont suit the kinds of things i like to shoot so i cant see myself buying one but im glad they exist

This was my gateway to 120. Also, I first about them in the late '90s when buyers were instructed to buy two in case one didn't work. And the rubber band era ... etc. I'm a bigger fan of the Diana, but I need to revisit Holga. Also, I helped a friend use the stereo one once, and it was quite fun.

Holgas are amazing and their look never seems to go out of style. People often forget to use the vertically-formatted 645 mask which offers a different shooting perspective and more images per roll. If you want to get crazy you can tape off the 645 mask into a 4.5x4.5 square and shoot 16 square images similar to the older Dianas.

W , holga cameras are so interesting to me

I love these videos about cameras, keep them coming Ben!

Thanks for this Ben 🙂 I didn't know there were SO many choices of Holga! Loved the vid 🙂

The Holga 3D being one of my favorite cameras, though it is plastic the 120 3D slides are one of a kind. I've started shooting the Sputnik and definitely enjoying that as well.

Great video for my very first medium format camera which I still love in a passionate way! Thanks!!

Excellent review and info, i just might be hooked!!!

Your narration is pure gold! so good. great info

I love my Holga! You can hand it to your (drunk) friends without worrying, and you barely notice the weight when you take it places. I've gotten good results with Kodak Gold 200, which is relatively cheap.

I have been using various Holgas since the 90s ... I loved the Polaroid and also the Instax mini back ... big fan of the panorama guys!!! The magic of them is that EVERY camera is unique and magical!!!

Thank you for the awesome history lesson on the holga your black & white shots are fantastic. I have three 120s 120n and a woca 120gf.

Great video! Speaking of Holga products that disappear from the market, for a long time I used an Holga fisheye adapter, modded for my Diana Mini!

I am so fortunate to be blessed with your videos😆, would very much like to see a video on the mint slr670 though, and how it holds up to other cameras such as the slr680 in different situations(studio, outdoors, regular daily use etc.)

Very informative 😮

Great video. Glad you did a Holga breakdown as I was interested in the panoramic model as a cheap way to see if I like using that kind of format.
