Hi,
Is there any cable release for the Holga model 120WPC? from the website i bought it from it doesn’t show that it comes or available with any cable release, the only available is from the N, FN,… models without WPC, so is that correct?
Also the box i’ve got came with one mask only [i think it is 6x9], so i read somewhere even from the same website i bought from that there is 6×7 mask included, and on the box it is written only two frame size: 6×9 and 6×12 (cm), so i am confused about that.

[...] are often ‘way out of whack. You’ll see what I’m referring to on websites such as http://www.holgablog.com/2009/04/09/the-massive-guide-to-all-holga-cameras/, and at Urban. Find the good price for the simplest of simple cameras, and grab several at a time. [...]

roxanne, what brand film are you using? some of them (i’m thinking ilford) are harder to see the numbers.

Hi Roxanne,
Check the video here:

Are you definitely using 120 film and not 220?

Are you using the square mask, if so, they switch has to be pointing at ‘12′ so you see the numbers on the back(although you should see some numbers not matter where the switch is).

I have a holga 120cfn and am really srtuggling loading the film – the manual says the numbers appear in the frame on the back telling you when to stop winding but I wound the whole film and saw no numbers. Obviously I had the reload the film and try again and it got stuck winding. And STILL no numbers – how am I supposed to know when to shoot?!

Very useful guide to the perplexed! (as I remember I was when a newbie).

One thing I think is important to add is the key difference between the 120S and 120N is the new tripod thread and bulb mode.
