"This was your father's camera. This is the tool of a photographer. ... An elegant tool for a more civilized age."
I haven't updated this in quite a while, but I thought it was notable that I'm actually considering getting a camera that *gasp!* uses film.
The camera in question is the Holga 120N. Why?
1. It's dirt cheap at $25.
2. It's a medium format camera (6x6).
I've been wanting to play with a medium format camera for a while, just to experience the massive amount of resolution it affords. Holga isn't exactly known for its fine optics (quite the opposite, actually...), but hey, it's a good inexpensive test of whether or not I want to fool around with this type of photography or not.
If I find another inexpensive 6x6 rollfilm medium format camera that actually has a *glass* lens for about the same price, I might go with that instead. A built in light meter would also be nice, but eh. Half the fun, right?
