new (?) Holga pano: 35mm pinhole/zone focus
« on: March 22, 2012, 05:22:17 PM »
I just got an email from the 4 corner store and it looks like they're carrying a Holga that I haven't seen before -- this panoramic version is 35mm and has interchangable pinhole and conventional focus lenses. I'd been thinking about picking up the sorta-new 120 non-pinhole pano... trying to spend less on cameras more on film, though. Has anyone else heard of this or used it yet (or is this old news?)

Just saw it yesterday. I have no idea how good it really is. I also don't know if it's going to compete with the Sprocket Rocket in terms of "quality"...

Being able to change between pinhole and lens sounds interesting. I already have the 120 pan and the Recesky DIY 35mm pan pinhole, so I can't see myself buying it... this month... but I'd be interested to see what others thought of it.
