Title: A holga from space!
Post by: Francois on September 07, 2013, 05:05:19 PM

Well, if it isn't enough that the Holga can be considered by some as a bit of an alien, there's now people who actually sent one on the edge of space, triggered it and recovered the camera!

Now, yes the camera will work in sub-zero temperature. And yes, it will work in an oxygen free environment. It won't melt through the re-entry process. But the UV rays don't help it much as this picture shows.
