http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/holgaroid-anyone-with-experience- An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us I am wondering if there are any toy camera lovers out there who have used, played with the Holgaroid and can tell me whether to stay away from it or have fun with it. Let me know ASAP! Thanks Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:54:07 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/holgaroid-anyone-with-experience- Camille -- I haven't used the Holgaroid but managed to go through two bodies in Baghdad last year. Make sure they insides are sealed with black tape. Less light leaks that way.<br/> <br/> Bill.<br/> Mon, 12 Dec 2005 19:19:56 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/holgaroid-anyone-with-experience-#11880 Do you have any images made with the camera that you can show me online?

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 20:09:57 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/holgaroid-anyone-with-experience-#11884 I have a Holga... it is fun for the kitchiness of it, and it does make some nice images... however, light leeks are irratic. The camera is cheap but processing and printing 1 roll of 120 film costs as much as the damned camera! <br/> Mon, 12 Dec 2005 21:22:51 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/holgaroid-anyone-with-experience-#11887 I bought the Holgaroid. It's cheap enough, you might as well give it a whirl. The film can be hard to get outside of New York or the other cities with good photo shops, so just buy a lot. I wish it vignetted more, but that can likely be solved by taking off the filter that goes over the lens. You can also use it as aregular Holga if you take the polaroid back off and use its regular film back. I vote yes.
