Title: Source for Holga 120N old stock??
Post by: leanne on April 01, 2024, 12:37:49 PM

Hi

The last few holgas I have bought have died shutter death very quickly. My old ones from 20 years ago last a long long time - over a decade for one of them.

Does anyone know of a source for old stock OG holgas? They seem so expensive on eBay these days. I bought my first one for about £5 new!! Now they're about £40 +++.

They were my route into 120 photography and I'm hoping they'll be the same again after a long hiatus.

Thanks 😊

I must admit that quality on those is quite random, especially today.
I know that Freestyle is the American importer (and owner?) of the Holga factory. But the International shipping will be a killer.

Maybe it would be cheaper to go for a Coronet instead? Or a Lomography Diana?

Honestly, I really don't know...
