To add to the Instax party, Lomography.com have launched an Instax Back for the LC-A+ (and the original LC-A). Those of you with the similar Diana+ back will know how refreshing a change of film can be, and – goshdarnit – just how cute the Instax results are.
Another new holga, this time a half frame/stereo/smileyface bizarro camera!
That’s Lady Gaga above, if you didn’t realise! Polaroid have announced they have teamed up with Lady Gaga to release some Gagapolaroid products. Out of all the creative team ups over the years, that is one I didn’t see coming. As per usual with this type of news, the interwebs is up in arms, with the »
We always thought we had a missing sponsor in Holgablog: we had a camera manufacturer in Holga Inspire ,a seller of camera equipment, film, and accessories in Freestyle Photo, but we didn’t have a sponsor to complete the photo cycle of developing and printing. But fear not! We welcome Photoworks SF on board as another »

There can never be enough online shops that sell toy camera kit. More competition=cheaper prices for you and me! So it is great news to see that our favourite Lo-Fi Photography magazine Lightleaks have launched an online shop, selling all kinds of toy camera goodness. Here’s the lowdown from Mike: Rachel and I (Mike) have been ‘toying’ around »
Yay! Holgablog turned 1 a few weeks ago! We have come a long way in a year, from a small grotty blog to one of the most visited toy camera sites on the net. The site wouldn’t have become what we now see without the contribution of some of the best toy camera writers on the net (or in real life!), so I would personally like to thank them all for their awesome articles over the last year. I would also like to thank you, the readers, for continuing to stick with us, sharing your views, and creating the community we have now.
Yep, Holga are really hitting the factory hard this year with another new Holga released. Well, when we say new, it is a new design but just combines two functions from their other camera ranges. They have Frankensteined together a Holga 135BC (35mm Holga camera with fake vignette) with the viewfinder ‘technology’ from the Holga »

Welcome to holgablog, a blog about the world of film photography (with a handful of digital thrown in every so often too!).
Flickr Friday!
It’s that time again! TGIF!!

Our theme for the week of March 3 – March 10, 2010 is Play.
You know the saying, “All work and no play…” Well, Friday [...]
Holga Wide and Tele Lens test shots
Here are a few test shots I took in my back yard a couple of weeks ago using the new Holga Wide and Tele lenses. For comparison, I stood in the same spot and took them all from the same angle (as best I could!).
I will keep trying out the lenses in some more different [...]
Review: Holga 120 WPC
I was originally going to start this review of the 120 WPC off quite technically – what the WPC stood for, what features it had, what the f-stop was. That kind of thing. Then I realised I’d been sucked into what I actually try to avoid in photography: geekspeak. So while some of the specifics [...]
