Topic: Score one more for the lowly Holga!

[astrobeck]

I was seriously surprised to see a cute little red Holga 135 as part of a layout in the current issue of Esquire magazine.

It's on page 164, and being held by a guy wearing a $3,995 Armani tuxedo....
guess he has the $$ to buy lots of film.   

Yay film!

I hope he's not pressing the film advance knob as well, or looking for the LCD screen

I hope he had matching red socks! haha, seriously though.. if you have a picture of this, do share

will definitely try to get a photo of it, it's a Hearst owned mag and I work for a Hearst paper so should be able to snag something........

since we are so anti-digital around here, i figure i will sneak this under the wire here.

prototype digital holga from a japanese toy expo... at least it's pretty! i like the fact that it is "coating-less"!

That is a good looking camera! It's a shame my camera shelf is groaning! 

[Francois]

It's also "variable"... I still can't figure out what it means... does it mean it gets mood swings every months?

[Phil Bebbington]

Francois, I must tell the wife to use "variable" it sounds so much nicer than miserable git!

Me too.

But I would like to see and hold such a camera. It sure does look pretty.

It would be prettier if it shot film.......

Okay, no more digi-talk or Leon will toss us all out with the scraps.

well said Becky.

[Francois]

Makes me laugh because it looks so much more "sophisticated" than what we're used to seeing from the brand

Maybe they'll get the aperture to work on the first try this time
