Q: What is the small "bulb" shaped object on the viewfinder side near the lens?
-=
Sally Nietering =- |
|
|
|
A:
The small bulb shaped object is my Bulb Modification.
with it pulled out, you are using the Holgas 1/100 sec shutter
speed. With it pushed in, you are now keeping the shutter
open as long as you hold the shutter button down, either with
your finger or the locking cable release. |

Q: How many turns on the film advance knob does it take to get to the next frame?
-= Sally Nietering =- |
|
|
|
A:
The red window on the back of the camera will allow you to see how many turns of the film
advance knob is necessary to move the film to the next frame. There are no set number of
turns. Each manufacturer has it's own markings printed on the paper backing of the film. So
approach the next frame slowly until you know the markings of your favorite films. |

|
|
Just find some soft foam to hold the 35mm can in place from side to side, then another thin piece on top before placing the back cover on. Advance the film 34 clicks of the take up knob and after every
frame, another 34 clicks. Film must be wound back into the 35mm can manually after your last frame has been taken. |

Q: I am thinking of buying one of your modified Holgas. I'm wondering if you do the
mods to the model that comes with the Flash built in.
|
|
|
|
A:
Sorry, I don't carry the 120SF (flash version) In my opinion the flash is too close to the
lens producing severe red eye when photographing portraits with the Holga using color
films.Plus the SF version can't be modified to take the 6x6 negatives as the mask that
needs to be modified holds the batteries in place. |
|
|
|
|
|
Q:
Then how about the Glass lens WOCA? |
|
|
A:
Again, Sorry but I only carry the cheaper
120S with the plastic lens. I guess I'm kind of
a Holga purist and believe the Holga should
have a plastic lens and an external flash. |
|
|
|
Q: Do you accept credit cards? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A: Sorry,
just money orders or bank cashiers checks.... I used to accept personal checks
but the few ruined it for the many long ago when I was sent quite a few rubber checks. I used to
try holding the checks until they cleared, but that made for quite a nightmare. With the amount
of orders I receive, it's just too hard to keep checking to see which checks have cleared. |

|
|
Q: Can I send you my Holga to modify? |
|
|
|
A:
Yes you may. I will modify any Holga sent to me for $19.00 plus shipping which includes 2
apertures, close focusing, interior flocking and a 6x6 mask. The following are extras
:
Tripod mount $3.00
Bulb/time exposure $10.00
Cable release $12.50
Colored Holga $10.00
Velcro $2.00
Wide Angle lens $79.95 (I no Longer offer the wide angle lens)
Please note:
As stated above, the SF versions can't be modified to take the 6x6 negatives as the mask that needs to be modified holds the batteries in place. |
|
Q: Do I need special adapters for panoramas in my Holga? |
|
|
|
A. You do not need anything other than a couple of pieces of tape if using 120 film, or a few
pieces of foam if you plan on using 35mm film for some great sprocket hole photography.
Or just crop at the enlarger or in Photoshop. |

|
Q:
I've been looking on the net for some specific info about Holgas without much success.
Since you guys seem to be the authority on the subject I figured I'd ask you. I'm trying
to figure out if the holga lens is just a simple meniscus or something else.
