35mm Modified Holga

18 05 2008

I was thinking the other day how cool it would be to be able to expose an entire 35mm negative through my medium format camera. Medium format is about 1.5x times bigger than 35mm, so if I loaded 35mm film into a medium format camera, technically it should expose the entire negative, sprocket holes and all. So I did some reading online, and it seems that this is a pretty popular modification to do to a Holga camera. It’s quite simple, just some elastics, foam, and electrical tape. I really like the results, here are a few form a couple test rolls that I just shot on the way to the store and back. Should be some more interesting subject matter to come later.

Comment if you’re interested,

Dylan
