Holga 120N Medium Format Toy Camera
The Holga 120N is a medium format film camera with a 60mm f/8 plastic lens that produces soft, dream-like images with natural vignetting and light leaks. It uses 120-format roll film and includes inserts for 6 x 4.5 cm and 6 x 6 cm frames, yielding 16 or 12 exposures per roll. Zone focusing allows shooting from 3 feet to infinity, while shutter speeds are fixed at 1/100 second and bulb. A hot shoe accepts optional flash units and a tripod mount enables long exposures.
For experimental photographers.
This camera suits photographers who embrace lo-fi aesthetics and unpredictable results from a simple plastic body. It is not for users who need sharp optics, metered exposure, interchangeable lenses, or any automated functions. It also cannot meet the needs of anyone requiring 120-format film compatibility or digital output.
60mm f/8 plastic lens with zone focus
The fixed 60mm f/8 plastic lens defines the camera's characteristic soft focus and heavy vignetting. Aperture choice is limited to f/8 or f/11 via a simple "sunny/cloudy" switch. Focus is managed through zone symbols for groups, portraits, and landscapes, with a minimum distance of 3 feet. This optical formula and focusing method are the primary determinants of the final image style.

Questions about this item
Does the plastic lens or body generate heat during long bulb exposures?
The all-plastic construction and fixed f/8 lens produce no measurable heat, even during extended bulb exposures on a tripod.
What film format and inserts must I already own to load this camera?
You need 120-format roll film; the box includes both 6 x 4.5 cm and 6 x 6 cm inserts for 16 or 12 exposures per roll.
Can I mount my older electronic flash unit on the hot shoe?
The top hot shoe accepts standard electronic flashes, so legacy units with a centre contact will fire normally.
