Holga

Jason tries out the one camera that is the laughing stock of the community, but maybe there's more to it than just being a useless pile of silverback gorilla fecal matter.

Cameras: Holga 120N

The first photo is genuinely one of the best I’ve seen taken with a Holga.

I’m sure the glow in the dark version is a great idea for a light leak prone camera…

I accidentally left the quality at 480p but it fits the aesthetic of the video.

"with only pictures on the lens of: Single person, Couple with a stolen baby, Large family not yet torn apart by divorce, or mountain..." Comedy Gold every time, I can't even 😂😂😂

[magnusa.]

the very beginning with "holga, holga, holga, the holga, holga, M6, holga, holga.." made me spray my morning coffee across the table... i am so easy to entertain.

I like the completion of inserting Caleb with the M6 in this video and him with the Holga in your M6 video. It's pure perfection

The modern attraction of the Holga is amazing. In 1954 ( 8 years old) I inherited an Ansco Pioneer snapshot camera.(620 roll film; 6x9cm format; one speed shutter, one aperture lens) made around 1950. For years we had a family photo album with pictures I took with it from a 1954 road trip to the Grand Canyon, probably planting the photo bug in me for the rest of my life. Shot an early form of Kodacolor, pretty poor color fidelity even when new. With all that, it still took photos which vastly surpass the ability of a Holga. There were huge numbers of such box cameras up to the 1906s. They were satisfactory because they mainly used a medium speed B&W film with a huge dynamic range, like Kodak Verichrome. The concept of over- or under-exposure on
Verichrome was almost irrelevant. Since most consumer processing returned B&W contact prints, sharpness and grain were non-issues. Times, they change unless you are drawn to a Holga of course. How can an 80 year old box camera embarrass a Holga? It used a simple glass lens rather than a plastic lens (no cheap optical plastics in 1950) and the film plane curves to match focus and cancel lens distortion. On ebay - $15 plus shipping, more or less.

I love the switch-up this time with Caleb's Leica intro

[theonetheonly]

All the photos from the holga look like family photos from the 1970’s but with out the people.

"Wait until they hear about what a rangefinder is." I died.

The Holga isn’t the camera we need, but the one we deserve

[StraitjacketWillie]

I have watched thousands of YouTube videos, and you are definitely my favorite creator. Sarcastic, dry and sometimes childish puns, lofi, dog, and actually appealing and impressive art, both with videography and photography. Thank you, and please keep them coming.

[PREVEDREDCAT]

Appreciate the new 4:3 ratio video format. I can finally watch your videos on vintage CRT or gameboy advance 🤩 (on iphone its kinda sux tho cus i used to watch it fullscreen 4K and photos were much closer to inspect 🙂)

[PastyTomato]

Wow, This is my introduction to your channel.. the algorithm brought me here and the immediate thing I noticed was the quality of your video. Chill vibe, and changing to a less "widescreen" aspect ratio for the video really adds a nice finishing touch, something I didn't know I wanted to see more of.

I love my silly Holga - I found that if I set the focus setting in between long and mid range, it makes my mid-range shots a bit distorted, not blurry. Shamelessly pushed Ektar 100 through it, though mine is taped up like an engineer's lunchbox so I have no light leaks. (Oh, and I taped over the "exposure" switch, because I heard that was a major light leak source).

[dochan]

been about 2 years since my film-obsessed days and recently just getting back into photography again, so glad to see your content around and well after all that time

[CowCommander]

The Holga with the color flashes make it more fun for sure, I own a Gcfn that has a glass lens and it makes the photos very slightly more sharper.

[alexchan]

The Holga 120 was my first medium format camera and I used it really heavily for ~5 years. It’s great for fun carefree shooting but really can’t justify it nowadays with these film prices 🤣🤣

[nishantpatil]

Dude the photos actually look so good compared to any holga video i've seen on youtube
