Fomapan_400_with Holga – plastic medium format camera – part iii
now is the right time for another Fomapan 400 roll exposed with the Holga GN120. a few words for newcomers – i found a few (initially 3 and now another, 4th roll) Fomapan 120 ISO400 rolls in my fridge and since i don’t connect with this film (especially 35mm), i decided to expose it but with Holga $50 plastic camera. this try was great also because i missed the simplicity of this camera. Passed more than two years since I used it last time.
another idea was to try double (or multiple) exposures and i have to say that Holga is the most easy and right camera for this technique. yes, i can shoot double exposure shoots with Hasselblad also, but the process is a little bit longer and less convenient than with Holga. and i have to say that i was surprised by the compatibility of all the constituent parts of the recipe – Holga, Fomapan and semi-stand developing process in R09 One Shot (aka Rodinal) developer. seems i will buy more Fomapan specifically for this kind of experimentations.
enjoy the square frames …
yes i know this part of the car on the right is a big distortion and should not be there…
some kind of succeeded double-exposure when i’am not too happy with the result cos
the second frame was some kind of Hitchcock’s dream,
but i was too slow to rewind to the new clean frame.. next time..
thank you for the visit !!!
Amazing work! As usual 🙂
Thank you Lina !!
Astounding, considering the simplicity of this particular implement you are working with!
Thank you Paula. A few times with the Holga i found myself in situation when i pushed the shutter button but there is no specific sound or finger feeling like there is with every other camera. So i was in doubts if something happened 😉
I am with Lina 🙂
Next week I’ll get a 35mm film back from the lab, which I shot with the Holga… I have no idea what will come out, but I look forward to the unknown 🙂
Great Jurgen ! Will wait for the results, very intriguing
Great images, love the Beetle shot. I have a Holga with roll of HP5 in it, been sitting there for a year. :>)
Sounds like a confession in a crime. ;-)) Thank you!
:>) I guess it is a crime that I haven’t been out and about taking photo’s with it.
Haha absolutely right 😉 its very easy to finish 12 frames 😉

I love these !
Thank you Irena !
Fantastic! I especially love the first and last one. Wow, you’re one of the few people that ever made me want to shoot a Holga again. Tremendous pics!
I was surprised how easily this camera envolved me into this adventure. Just do it Sam ! Thank you for the kind words !!
