Holga 135BC 35mm Bent Corners Film Camera

Product Information

There were a couple of other things about the image quality and qualities that surprised me though. And I mean surprised me with how good they were. The good news is that they are both great little cameras so which ever decision you make, I don't think it will be the wrong one and to be honest, if you love them as much as I do, you'll probably end up getting both anyway... I’d recently mused about the alternatives to a Holga 135 series camera given the high cost. Just after that a newer color optical lens camera arrived and I managed to get a working 135BC.

The limitations of Holga can be daunting, but once you learn how to use it and work around those limitations, these things are amazing and fun. I had no idea how to use a Holga until I got my hands on this one, and there were a few things about it that were different to what I usually shoot. If you’ve never played with one either but fancy doing so, there’ll be things you also need to know.

Open your 120 film, which will be on its own spool, and place it into the left-hand bay. Then pull the leader over and slide it into the slot on the right-hand spool. So when I had my brief encounter with the globetrotting Littlest Holga, I thought I’d double dip.

Holga 135BC Specifications

If you prefer technically good photographs and don’t see why anyone would use one of the worst-built cameras ever made, then probably don’t.

This can be a deciding factor between these cameras and I can personally say that one of the reasons that I love my Diana Mini is the square format - it really suits the camera and its results. So if you're looking for the square format in particular then the Diana Mini might be for you. Pictured below are some more accessories that were with the Holga I shot. I didn’t use them but they are the shutter release cable – handy for long exposures on bulb mode – and a couple of examples of the filters you can experiment with. So, if you’re a bit frustrated about this, if you’ve never experienced shooting by viewing your subject from the top down to the camera and are dreaming every night to have a TLR in your hands, here’s a fantastic little plastic camera to begin your apprenticeship of TLR cameras: the Holga 135BC TLR! Essentially these cameras are very similar - they are both plastic, they can both do multiple exposures, they both have a bulb setting, distance focusing, two aperture settings (sunny or cloudy) and take 35mm film. So if you want to get experimental with your photos, both of these cameras are perfect for that.Next to the tripod mount is a switch that technically allows you to change the shutter speed, although it only gives you two options. N is normal, which is said to be around 1/100 of a second, and B is bulb, which keeps the shutter open until you tell it to close again.
