hi ...Kai... do you think that the newer holga 135BC (bent corners) will have 2 real aperture or n ot?I bought it second hands and i know that it was made about from 2009 till now.. so you think that mine , bought in december 2011 will have the 2 real aperture? thank you a lot...

But here is one little thing that no one ever mentions. When you have a new Holga with aperture settings that work, you have to slide the aperture setting in the opposite way of what you would usually think. When you slide the button to reveal the cloud, it's actually set to sunny. The best thing is to open the camera completely and have a look at how this works for yourself...

I happened to buy a Holga 120N with the aperture defect too.

: thank you , you've been extremely kind.

: lol.....i was just asking: since the camera can be f8 or f11, which of these does holga work with. i know you can leave the switch on either settings, otherwise it wouldn't have been defected....

a question: wich aperture do defected holgas work with? i read on the internet they work with smaller one (sunny), but it sounds weird to me.

You can leave the aperture switch on either setting, as they are the same.

Well, if you believe the specs, it should be f/8 since the apertures are supposed to be f/8 (cloudy) or f/11 (sunny). It is probably closer to f/13, according to Nicolai Morrisons calculations. go to

I have been using Holgas for a long time now, and it is still one of my favorites. The differences between the new model and the older models is very slight. You will be able to get good photos with your Jack Edition camera. I wouldn't worry about it too much, just get out there and shoot!

All older versions of Holga 120 had this problem. Check yours out when you get it. If itvturns out to be an older version, don't fret too much, as the camera is still fully functional, and only slightly less capable. I've shot with the older version for years and think it's still a good camera.
