Holga 120N
Shoot with 400 speed B&W 120 film.
Now I find myself at a crossroads, the camera is really fun to play with but unless I have very steady hands or go thur about 2 more test rolls of film I might not use this camera all the time. The biggest downer is the cost of development, plus the cost of putting the film to digital, plus the cost of the service work. All in all I spent $15 to get these three shots on digital from development :( I'm a poor artist $15 is gold to me. Also the store I'm using is becoming a pain in the ass, they tell you it's going to be $1.49/per 120 neg. to scan (no biggie)... but they don't tell you it's $5 to do the work... WTF. I even gave them my flash drive, seeing it might save money and not get charged for the CD.... bS .grrr... disappointed. Also the pictures were backwards, scanned as color not as B&W and I just spent the last hour editing them to even look this good. Blah too much shit for a simple task.
I know not to let life's little trials hold you back, but WTF. I'm going to have to find a better source to do Medium Format or get prints made and than scan them. Thank God I have a degree in Graphic Arts, and have a good eye for editing pictures.
