i wan a holga?
but where can i get it?

hi all,

Ive been browsin tru the most of threads regardin lomo cams.

Consider of buyin either Lomo LCA + or Holga 120CFN, but headache on which one to choose wif.

Both also are good cameras, but LCA + is really really expensive (950rm) compared to Holga(290rm)~

is it worth to buy LC A+ over Holga??? is worth for the price??

What r da main differences between these two? i like the LC A+ size over Holga, and heard it has alots better function and build quality too?

Is anyone know any website that provides all the learning how to use Film LomoCam? im totally Nerd of film stuf.. sighs.


Please adviseee..

Thanks~!

Those effect is process using slide films with cross process technique

i personally feel that its worth buying LC A+, its capture sharper images plus the brilliance of the saturated colours which really make it worth getting it (i'm going to get it next month). but the other camera which are similar to LCA is probably the olympus XA 2 which is kinda close to the LCA+, but it doesn't vignette as heavy as LCA minitar lenses does, plus you can get those camera off ebay for much cheaper price.

holga 120 is medium format and it give more of a vintage feel under certain situation, the light leak could be a bonus too but it's random so be weary, tho you can fix that by taping it. i recalled reading somewhere at flickr dicussion, there are still a number of ppl who uses holga medium format for wedding photoshoot due to its vintage yet romantic feel out from the medium format.

To Tomzy,

Thanks for your feedback~!

I just got my Lomo LCA+ and finally finished one roll..

But i've encounter problem of re-winding the film! (after i finishedup 36pics)

There was a strong force when I re-winding it (pressed n hold the Small button at bottom), feel worried but i stil rewinding it clockwise ..
But after i rewinding it for sometime.. it tends to Stuck and cant rewind animore! i heard some "crackclack" sound if i continue to rewind it~

When happened? Could anyone here could shed me some light? I worried my film already been eaten or spoil...

(According to da instruction guide, u wil feel release when the rewinding about to end)


Really fed-up as tis is my first roll thou.

please kindly advise..

Regardss

my film camera is also like that.
i just ignore and wind the crank.
just make sure you dont spoil the crank.

wow! i can't believe that holga's price have jumped up to such scale.
rm 290 leh. but is this holga the one with the flash one?

i got mine (the one without flash) ages ago for rm 90 only.

well dont give up yet... apparently some ppl who purchased it have this issue too, either you can ignore it like what anthrax33 recommended or you can send it back to the shop to claim warranty. meanwhile you can try using 26 roll film first as its less tighter than the 36 roll film.

rights.. which film camera are you using?

no one here using the action sampler? any comments on that?

lomo newbie here

Hi, lomo newbie here, planning to get smena 8m, any comments? Is it a good cam?

smena 8m is a good camera i u r good at manual adjustment..

you can check at all Folio or Room shops around malaysia..

here is the address of those shops:


actually, sometimes if you buy from those shops, they are not ready stock,
so,it should take times to order it..

Happy Lomoing...

fish eyey around rm250

hmmm... i m still contemplating between holga, smena and a diana (without hotshoe, original version)

Can anyone advice me on my choices?
Seems like processing for 120 films is quite expensive here, a 16 shot can cost about rm21 to process. That really deters me, and if i use a 35mm on a holga and diana, i dun get the vignette effect i wanted.. hmm..

According to ROOM in KLCC, they are currently out of stocks and they've been waiting for months to have stocks.. Anyone knows is there any shops out there have stocks? I want to get Fisheye No2 White Edition!

try this one:


I have bought my holga from those bulk order too..

Smena35...its lomo right

Anyone knows anything about Diana +?

I'm loving lomo nowadays,
consider get FishEyes No2.
So it is using 35mm film.
totally how many photo can take in 1 Film?

check out my friends' stuff. i dunno about lomos and holgas. but this girl's got some really great shots with her lca. this girl's very very talented.
