 Never know what to expect, but still fun February 24, 2008
This is my second Holga 120N. I really love using these cameras as a diversion from the now common world of digital cameras. Sure, I could get a better used medium format camera for about the same price without the problems of light leaks, soft focus, and harsh vignetting, but that is kinda the point, isn't it? It is fun to use and doesn't hurt to lose. Pick one up to maybe create something new out of very old technology.
Fun little gem February 17, 2008

I've been a Holga user for the past decade, and the 120N is definitely an upgrade (if you could call it that) from the older Holga 120S. Light leaks are part of the Holga's charm, but sometimes you want a nice, clean image. Unlike the previous generations of Holgas, I've never had to wrap the 120N in black tape.
One caveat: always check your settings. Many times I've inadvertently slid it over to "bulb," producing a very blurry picture. Unless you're in a very low light situation and you have a tripod handy, don't touch the bulb setting.
Great Camera January 9, 2008

This is perhaps one of the funnest lomo cameras to use. I have a couple dislikes, though. (1) The back film door tends to come off due to the loose sliding clasps meant to keep it on. I'm not sure if the film used in these cameras is damaged by light, but I assume it is, and thus this can be a frustrating dilemma. I have taped mine shut and abandoned using the clips. (2) It's quite difficult to find someone to develop the film used in this camera.
A fun but moderately annoying camera.

This little gem is an adventure to operate! The only camera in the world where it's flaws are it's greatest attributes. Breakout from the boring rectangullar world of digital photography! this little beauty shows you a whole new world of photography!
Awesome camera (just make sure you are outdoors) September 30, 2007

This camera produces stunningly artistic photos when used outdoors in adequate light. Indoors it is virtually worthless, unless you use a flash. (It took me a little while to find an old flash that would sync right with this, incidentally; my $300 Nikon flash wouldn't work with it) Anyway this is actually made very well and I think made better than the Lomo LC-A, and I like the pictures from this better than the pictures from the $150-$200 Lomo LC-A.
