Hey Rage

I was going to send a pm but since i'm posting

What type of polaroid camera would you suggest to begin with?

and the framing on pancakes makes it look classy. mmmhmm

 

Depends on what film type you're looking to start with.

If you're on a budget, I'd suggest starting with cameras that use 600 Film.

 

If that's the case, you can try to find any camera in this section:

My favorite would be the Sonar AutoFocus Sun660.

 

If you want to spend the few extra bones and use the old school peel-apart film (669, 667, 664...) then you can try most of these cameras:

My favorite of these models is the 250.

 

If you use eBay, I'm certain you can find something for hella cheap and with accessories.

If not, some thrift stores are better than others.

Rage and anyone else with any knowledge...

 

should I buy this holga 120N medium format camera?

 

its only gonna cost about 25 dollars, do you think its worth it?

 

Or for someone who's never used a holga or done medium format, would it be better to start off with a 35 mm holga?

 

advice please.

Did some shots of Balinese guy down at the local beach. I saw him playing soccer one night and after sunset I was taking some shots of some kids and he came and asked me if I could take some photos of him the next day. Obviously I didnt refuse. I wasnt sure how they would turn out. And these are a couple that I kinda liked. Not too sure though

35mm Holga?

I didn't even know anything like that existed.

 

I'd say go for it, but the 120N.

yeah, holga 35? can you imagine the image quality on that :yuck: ... definitely go with the 120. hell, for $25 it's worth it. be prepared to drop some change on the film though.

i just bought a holga 120 colorsplash and its nice, really fun to play around with.. i really havent gotten any nice prints back but im getting better (if your already into film you should pick up quicker than me) just make sure you can get medium format film somewhere convienent and you'll be glad you bought it
