The iconic Lomography Holga 120 CFN Medium Format Camera with Color Flash has a gaggle of tasty new features. A color wheel tints your flash with yellow, red, blue, or clear gels. A "B" setting holds the shutter open for dreamy, natural background/flashed foreground images, or pure nighttime long exposures. A tripod nut keeps your Holga steady, and a new 6 x 6 plastic mask yields tighter, sharper images.
Features:
Color Flash
The incredible color-flash technology--responsible for quite a lot
of heat and bother among the Lomographic crowd--has now been extended to the iconic medium-format Holga. Using a combination
of colored flash light and a long shutter exposure, this revolutionary item can create some of the most mind-blowing images
that you have ever seen. When this new functionality is paired with the Holga's already hectic characteristics (soft focus,
light leaks, vignetting), the results are devastating.
Color Flash Wheel
A plastic wheel assembly inside the
flash allows you to choose one of three permanently mounted color gels (yellow, blue, red) or a clear flash. For ease and
pleasure, the colors are labeled on top of the camera as well.
"B" Shutter Setting and Tripod Thread
The "Bulb"
setting allows you to hold open the shutter for as long as you like. Just keep the release button depressed, and the shutter
will continue to exposure your image. This is nice for two reasons: (1) shake-free long-exposures and (2) long-exposure flash
effects. In the first case, you can use your Holga to take stunning night shots, filled with streaming ambient light. Just
hold the shutter open for about 5 seconds on a city street, and use a tripod (screwed into the tripod thread) for maximum
clarity. In the second case, your Holga can be employed for gorgeous flash portraits. Using the "B" setting, activate the
flash and aim it at your subject. This has to be done in low light! After the flash fires, hold the shutter release down for
a half a second to several seconds. The result: a beautiful dual-effect image with a crisp, flashed foreground and a streaked,
natural-light background.
6 x 6 Interior Mask
Traditionally, the Holga used a small plastic mask to take 6
x 4.5 images. This reduced the maximum area inside the camera to a rectangular portrait format. It also served to keep the
film tight, protect it from scratches, and hold the batteries inside. Those who chose to shoot the square 6 x 6 format (basically
everyone who wanted to really shoot with Holga), had to suffer through rough-shod film and falling batteries. No more! The
new 6 x 6 mask, like its 6 x 4.5 brother, keeps everything in place.
