Holga help, photos are blurry?
Why do my holga pictures come out blurry? I modified my holga 120s to use 35mm film. But when i recieved my photos, they were all blurry. This came to great odds, because i know for a fact it wasn’t me, something has to be going on with my camera. it’s really new and i haven;t cleaned or anything. I do have a steady hand, because i do take frequent pictures with my cannon. Anyone have any suggestions?
That’s the whole point of a Holga…
I’ve known people to return them because they were too sharp.

Understanding the Holga Lomo toy camera model prefixes
The Holga Lomography camera is a medium format toy camera. Orignially manufactured in the 1970s, the venerable holga is popular as it takes attractive pictures which are color drenched and over saturation. In the era of “ultra sharp” and “high definition”, this is a welcome departure which allows for casual photography to take place.
The holga models have a number of prefixes which can be confusing at times, so it is useful to take a look and review all of that mumbo jumbo to see what do they actually mean.
There are 2 basic models, the Holga 120 and Holga 135.
120: this is the standard camera which uses 120mm film
135: this is a variant that uses the 35mm film
There are large number of prefixes behind this standard model naming. Hence, you will always see the model as “120 XXX” or “135 XXX”
S: This means that this is the orignal version of the holga
N: This is the updated basic model. There is no inbuilt flash.
G: Instead of a plastic lens, you get a glass lens.
F: There is an inbuilt flash.
C: There are color gel filters built in (4 colors of red, blue, yellow, white)
WPC: Wide pinhole version of the 120N
TLR: Twin lens reflex
BC: Picutres taken would have the black coners. This is the characteristic vignetting effect of holga shots.
These various prefixes can be combined to give a model like 120GCFN, which means a standar model that uses 120mm film with glass lens, color gel filters and with built in flash. Simple?
Have fun with your Holgas!
