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,

sweet! i’ve just tried the 35mm in my holga but i didn’t mask the back up properly and they all got a sqaure burned into them
dude, i like your holga pictures. they make me homesick, especially the tracks.
how did you manage to make the color on the negatives appear
a negative scanner?
btw, really great overlap of the stop sign and face
Dear Dylan,
5,6,8 &9 are my favorites!
I love holgas & the idea of using 35mm film instead of 120mm film.
Did you develop this film and print the photos yourself?
I am trying to figure out how I can have 35mm film developed as if it were medium format. Do you know of anyone who will process film this way?
Best regards,
Carrie
gotta say they all look superb !
