  • wait, so if you put 35mm film into a 120 without an adapter, it will still work!?!?

  • @Kristincrfujh yes, it's possible, and you will get the image in sprockets look that is very popular. Check out my video, DIY35mm film in a 120 camera.

  • Do I need to count the 24 clicks everytime I want to shoot a picture? or just the first time to load the film into the camera? :S ...

    I dont know wich Holga should I choose :( i'm new at this, can you tell me wich one do you recommend in my case? a 120N or a 135?

    I need helllpppp Q___Q please?

  • @ohbarbylicious The film must be advanced each and every time you take a photo, unless you want to double expose your film. If you haven't purchased a camera yet, I highly recommend getting a 35mm lo-fi film camera to start with, rather than trying to shoot 35mm film in a Holga 120 camera. Check out the Holga 135 or 135BC, or the Lomography La Sardina.

  • umm, WHY would you want to put a 35mm mask in there?! I think the best part about using 35mm film in the 120 is the awesome look it gives! It is so unique and so great! Something you can truly only produce with film!

  • @JJtheJaxartosaurus I agree with you. The one advantage this adapter offers, is that it frames the images down to a standard 35mm negative, so that any 1-hour lab can process and print the images.

  • Kai, is there a Holga 120 that let's you rewind the film manually like the 135 holga? Is the 120 evey going to get an upgrade to add film counter? Or any other gadgets in the works that you may know of?

  • luckily i told my usual processor about this method and he said when i do this that i can just bring the camera to him and he will handle taking the film out in a darkroom

  • bloody hell that leader is a waste of film!

  • Counting the clicks sounds pretty confusing btw :S ...

  • Thank you so much, this video is great, I just purchased an adaptor but then I realised I wasn't really sure how I would install it when it came, and also, I never would have figured out to tape the film and the correct way to count the clicks. Thank you so much!
