Do you know what it's supposed to sound/feel like when the shutter goes off? I've manually set up my Diana F+ by using your method, and I just wanna make sure that I'm actually taking the pictures rather than opening the back and checking and risk damaging the pictures I've already taken.

@hajincho not sure with the diana but i'd guess its a particularly plasticky type clicky sound :) just use it as you would normally, along with the click chart or HolgaClicks iphone app, and then develop. Thats the only way you'll know really.

If I don't have any foam, could I use cardboard or would you not recommend that?

[squarefrog]

@squiddie03 you can use anything that holds the reel in place so that it doesn't move up or down. Should be easy to get a small piece of foam or sponge. Look in craft stores, or as a last resort the supermarket down the bath and shower aisle :)

do the number to clicks between frames change if the 35mm film is 36 vs. 24 exposures?

[squarefrog]

@norabora2591 no they don't, you simply reach the end sooner :)

does it take square photos and do you wind it normally?

but how can i remove the tape clearly? it seems that it is so difficult to remove with using this type of tape-.-

How many photos I can do with a 35mm film roll in a holga 120n?

[sammyyyy90]

I personally choose 35mm, since I don't know anyplace that'll process 120. Thanks! It doesn't look as difficult as I thought it would.

You have nice hands. Also nice tattoo, I was thinking of getting something along the same vein, in the form of the equation for standard deviation.

@dontneedamoustache how did your pictures turn out?

[ILMOEM]

do you need to keep the mask on?
