Recently I decided to treat myself and purchase a Holga TLR (twin lens reflex) camera. I already have one Holga, a 120s, and it's almost too Holga-esque. The light leaks are significant, and are in a geometric box shape, and I haven't come up with any ideas (or subjects) to best utilize this camera. Much of the frame ends up being way overexposed, and I end up being disappointed. So it sits among my vintage cameras, usually, looking a bit sad.
Anyway, I'm getting off track...the new camera is fantastic! Below are some of the results. There is a vignetted edge, and a dreamy depth of field, and it works with 35mm film. So overall, I highly recommend it if you happen to be looking for a plastic camera, either for fun or as a stepping stone into the world of happy accidents.
