My LifeJournal: Elly Holga

Meet Elly.

Elly, my Holga Camera, films and adaptor.

My wrist strap with a tiny SLR.

Antenna Shop.

Red Elly.

Holga 120 GCFN.

Loaded with lomography Black & White film.

No pink though. =(

But it's a beauty.


And so I'd been pondering over getting a film camera.
Went in and out of Amazon, Googling for advise and links.
And I finally found a local seller that sells online.

But Holga cameras are pretty new to me.
So I decided to be smart again,
and started reading up on how to use it,
how it works, how to load the film,
what is 6x6 mask,
In fact, I printed out and wrote down some notes.

The website really helped me a lot.
In just half an hour and all my questions,
had been answered.

See, I'm a smart shopaholic.
At least I did my due diligence.
Cos photography is such an expensive passion.
That one needs to ensure they are not impulsive.
One who is serious will learn how to use it first,
before purchasing them.
Otherwise, you'll just end up buying something
and displaying it on your shelves.

So I immediately went to town and bought my baby.
Cactus.
A little pricier as compared to the ones online.
But it's okay.

So I spent $167.30 on the following:


1. Holga 120 GCFN Red for $105.
2. Lomography BW 120mm 3 rolls $18.50
3. Fujicolour Superia 120mm 1 roll $5.80
4. Mini Les Ailes Strap Pink $16.00
5. 35mm Adaptor $22.00


So the next time, I'm purchasing my films online.
And this gorgeous Les Ailes French Strap at $30.

Love.

I'd started playing with Elly.
Hopefully the pictures turn out well.
Need to get black tape to avoid leaks.

And yes, Hady is still my No.1 Love.
Hady, meet Elly.

If you're interested in getting one, tell me and I'll tell you.
