Holga 120SF Medium Format Camera

Winding clicks for Holga with frame removed?


By Beresford - usenet poster


Hey folks -

I just got my first Holga. I took out the picture frame from the body of the
camera. The first two rolls of film I 'ruined' (If you can use that term
with this camera) by advancing the film according to the numbers on the
back. The pictures overlapped with one another. The next roll of film, I
counted the clicks between each numbered frame and came up with 18. I
advanced each photo two frames, and got no overlap.

Has anyone calculated how many clicks I can advance each frame so I can pack
my photos more tightly yet avoid overlap?

Please, no Holga flames. I've already gotten one photo that I'm happy with
from it, and out of three rolls of film, that beats my average with my
decent 35 mm camera.

Move the red window cover on the back to the 12 position.

Got mine (Woca 120S) today. I'm very happy with it. Nice black all around
the edges and a nice lightspot right-above. Ordered another Holga 120S and
Holga 120SF.
I'm not paying 1000 euros for a camera ;-)

I have only some problem with winding the exposed film on the spool (from
development-tank). A bag from photopaper safed me, so I could turn on the
light.
I think I should do an experiment with spooling in light.
But I got 9 pictures out of 12. On one I did not expose, but left it in the
sun on all sides. Then you can see on the film exactly, where the light
shines through the plastic body.
