- The Holga GCFN 120 is a cheap medium format camera that everyone should run at least one roll through at some point.

the results are really reminiscent of a disposable camera so if that’s a look someone strikes at with more information due to the larger negative size - it’s a great choice!
it's absolutely is a medium format disposable, and it's so fun!
I really really like that you took comparison photos! So great to see a different camera for reference. It’s often so hard to gauge how good a camera is without seeing images from another camera.
Loving the chill backyard vibes 🌿✨ and the friendly mamiya/holga combo/contest! 📸 So hyped for each and every video you publish on here! Keep up the great work :)
thank you for watching!!
Such great content bro!
Part of shooting film is taking chances and I love that you share that process with us! I’ve heard bad stuff about the Holga but now I wanna pick one up after seeing your images😅
Aw bad stuff??? They're fun little cameras, just can't expect anything other than disposable results!
I used to shoot holga for a few things for years. I love the look of the images. It failed me on a backpacking trip when some wild ponies let me chill with them and the shutter got stuck. Have not used one since but I may try again
7:30 is chill
tysm!
To know if there's going to be camera shake, there's an actual formula for that. 1/focal length=minimum shutter speed. So if you have a 60mm like on the Holga, you can hand-hold it down to 1/60th of a second. 200mm telephoto, 1/200th of a second. And so on.
never knew that!! gonna have to try that out soon. thanks!
All the shots looked so good! your actually the best! and as someone who wants to get in to this type of stuff your vids are really helpful you make cameras seem not so scary to me anymore thanks!
YAY!! love to hear it Karl
2024 best photograph channel!
awwww bruh thank you so much
Word.
Always love your photos man. Lowkey love the holga and your photos here on both cameras are great!
Try the 6x6 mode. The built in vignette is so nice on these. Because they’re toy cameras and cheaply made you get vastly different results from camera to camera. You should look into some of the things artists have accomplished with these things.
I have looked into this as a fun camera to mess around with but have never jumped. I do dig the images you created, so there is that. Have a great day dude!
thanks for watching! neat little camera fr
You and Levi shooting together is INFECTIOUS! So fun
Michael Kenna published a book of his Holga shots. They are something else. Beautiful work.
gonna check it out!! thank you for sharing!!
You're so right about how it's, of course, nice to have the professional/pristine quality of the RB, but there is something charming about the imperfections of the Holga. And your railing shot with the Holga? I mean, come on! Great work, as always!
thank you!!!
I literally just bought this and received it the other day 😅 still need to try it
Holy crap, those are got to be the best image from a Holga I have seen so far! Kudos to the brain behind it :-p
My boy pumping videos! Get at it son!!!
you know it
These are very cool, love the shots at 7:30 especially. I've just bought myself a Holga and shot half a roll but the weather is so dull at the moment in the UK.
I think I read somewhere that the batteries can sometimes shift when you're using it, which could be why the flash is playing up? Some people have taped them down before putting the frame mask in. Also, mine was second hand and the battery compartment was so corroded I had to literally file down the contacts before the flash would work.
Perfect timing. I just shot my first few frames with Holga today.
let's go!
just keep the video coming!! it will take off eventually!
Nice result !
Fantastic and interessting Video.
Greetings from germany
Just ordered one off Amazon yesterday!
I modded my holga pan to adapt an Angulon 90mm f/6.8 lens. I now have a large format DIY xpan 😂
For a 50 $ camera I'm actually surprised how well the image quality is😲😲😲 I mean wow ! Also the mamiya had more clarity in its images but aethestic wise holga looked good equally if not better !
That little camera is much better than I thought
Interesting photos. At f8 you are losing a stop of light so bring your subject into the light or use a flash especially with a holga in shadows. It seems alot of film photographers on these channels are afraid to use flash and would rather pull out highlights and brighten in photoshop/lightroom for some reason. You had very few light leaks with the Holga which is unheard of . I tape mine up up like fort knox with electrical tape. Then again mine is one of the early models.
Light leaks could be from not winding the film tight enough at the end of the roll. When I finish a roll of 120 I like to roll it real tight with my thumbs and index fingers on each end of the roll before sealing it with the tape. Just a thought.
true! definitely not the case here as the light leak is consistent at that amount of leak throughout the roll, vertically. it's either from the lab, or each camera has a light leak in the exact same way that effects each roll
I have a Diana F with the original box from the 60s. Such a fun camera to shoot with. Basically the same as that Holga.
Oh that's so dope! Bet it's beautiful!
@@linusandhiscamera it is for sure!
I feel like this would be cool to experiment in the studio with like the imperfections, it's kinda making me think of some of the shoots of Billie Eilish who I'd actually love to see you shoot along with Paramore
Such an underrated camera!
such a fun one frrrr
Nice that it's getting some recognition again. The Holga was all the internet when the lomography craze started
Such a funky light leak. It’s orange so it’s coming from the front at least… it’s also in the right place for the dark slide but it’s too consistent to be that and also too consistent to be from developing…
Would love to hear the result :-)
holy crap i never knew you could put the darkslide there
LMFAO
Dude, I had a similar light leak with my Mamiya 645 pro shooting black and white. I don't know what's up it seems like if you were to get one on 120 it would be on the edges after you finish the roll. Something is haunting us lol
I can get you sponsored for holgas 👀
haha oh yeah?? not after the flash didn't work 💀
fun episode. I still wonder why one would purchase a Holga over an old medium format folding camera which can be had for the same price and would do literally everything better.
When it works. Usually, old cameras need to be serviced and lubricated to work properly, and that costs more than the camera. Also, why not have both?
the holga always gets kinda shat on by other youtube photogos because its not high end enough for them and the lens is soft but lowkey thats the point of it and its also a great intuitive and cheap way into medium format, which is notoriously expensive. also the lightleaks on some of the RB shots were cold
not fair to sh*t on it when it's whole thing is making disposable-like images on a medium format camera!
Great video, but you're really tempting me to get into medium format film 😭
tappppp in!
The rotating flash is actually premium what
it's so cool!! wish mine worked
Happy Meal Portra 😂
