Holga 120N Medium-Format Film Camera

A big film negative from a remarkably simple plastic box.

Wind the roll by hand and turn the lens toward a little distance symbol. There is no screen to tell you whether the frame worked. The Holga’s simple plastic lens is part of the attraction for people who enjoy soft edges and a less predictable picture.

WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EYE

The body holds medium-format film, yet the camera asks for only a few decisions. A row of pictograms does the work of a focus scale.

BEFORE YOU BUY

It uses 120 roll film and needs processing. The accepted photograph shows the plain black 120N. Flash units and film are separate.

Black 120N with a plastic lens and no built-in flash. The 120GN glass-lens body and 120CFN flash version are separate models.
