How To Use 35mm Film In A Holga

Short stop animation movie on how to use 35mm film in your Holga camera made for my high school photo class. Sorry about the long nothing at the end...that happened when i uploaded it.

Also Note: Make sure you use black, non-reflective tape on the red window, and tape both sides of it! I didn't do this in the video because i didn't have any.

@Ignocamps thanks :)

hi! i've been lookin for a video like this for a while! but i wonder if this procedure can also be done with a diana f+ 120mm

[JessBlitz]

@gapolla I'm not too familiar with the diana cameras, although i believe they are fairly similar to the holga. If they have pretty much the same loading system as the holga i think it should work just fine. Try it out! :)

24 clicks?

some say its 42..

I made this in high school for a project before i actually developed the roll of film. I added an annotation to that part of the video. It's best to either experiment on your own or to turn the wheel itself 2 turns because the click to the holga wheel can differ from camera to camera.

This video must have taken so long to make! I appreciate you for taking time out of your day to show us how to do this.

p.s good song choice :)

@caryt59 The sprockets aren't exposed using that, which is kind of the point of doing this adaption, else people would just buy a Holga 135bc.

What's the song on this video?

@gapolla hey, tried this procedure on a diana f+ yet? i got mine recently and I'm thinking that techinically it should work the same way sind the back and everything look exactly like the diana f+. and another thing: someone here said you cant get the holes with the adapter, so I'm assuming if you do it like that , there will be sproket holes?

[jiuymin]

how do you rewind the film into the canister?

[scoobysnacksgalore]

@caryt59 you dont get sproket holes with the adapter and why do that this is more fun

[caryt59]

You all realize that there is a 35mm adapter for the Holga 120 which can be purchased on Amazon?!

[JessBlitz]

@hybridatomsk This is the holga that has a flash, that's why there are batteries. The Holgas without the flash don't use batteries.

@rocksterize Thank you, my mistake. I managed to do it all)

[rocksterize]

@AbberlineArrol You don't load the film in the dark, you do take out the film in the dark tho

Thist was EXTREMELY helpful but I had a question:

when you insert the film & have it read to take a shot, how do you know when it's on the first shot? You know how on a 120 film it would display "#1" so you know to take a picture, how would this work on film that doesn't have then number?
