you all got do contact sheet b4 not?
if got how much the cost per roll?

well, its sumthing like this

instead of one frame on a photo, you have the entire roll of film on the photo.
another thing is where can i get these cameras in kl area?

well, actually you can process 120 film in this type of style as well.
where they lay down the strips of negative film side by side and then project it into an A4 sized photographic paper.
it's quite common before the digital era.
but my concern is the price of doing so cos i think A4 sized photo doesn't come cheap to begin with.

not sure also.
i'll ask today and see if its feasible or not.

they arent hard to find.
well at least in my area where you need to order it cos they dont have ready stock.

the last time i checked with folio, they said that they wouldn't have stock on holgas and fisheyes untill march. not so sure abt dianas though.

well, depends on what you'd want your pic to end up like.
those cams with the word sampler and another one called okto-dunno-mat which has more than 1 lenses are mainly for moving subjects.
if you like the good old fashioned still pictures, the holga is a good start.
the fisheye has a really wide angled lens at your disposal to be creative.
both the holga and the fisheye can do multiple exposures which is cool.

creatively wise, i think the holga has more potential. cos you can control a lot of conditions like light leaks and you can even modify the camera to take an entirely unique pictures called sprocket hole pics.

the diana costs more than the holga i think.
they are almost identical specs except that the diana has 3 different apertures compared to the holga which has technically only 1 aperture.
most importantly, the diana doesn't have built in flash.

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