By their nature, pictures from the Holga 120S are "flawed" by modern photography standards. This Holga 120S gallery represents a step into the realm of medium-format photography. I was still quite a beginner at photography in the summer of 2005, when I shot these. However, I do count making photos with the Holga as one of my most important photographic experiences, and I think that everyone who wants to pursue the craft (as fun hobby or serious aspiring pro) should give themselves a chance with this camera. The images are one-of-a-kind and have a character all their own.

These cameras are cheap and accessible for those who want to try out medium-format photography. The only real rub was the cost of developing the prints. It cost $60-70 to develop and print a roll of 12 exposures.

I shot some colour photos and some black & white. In my personal opinion, the black & whites are the best ones. These pictures came straight from prints on the scanner bed to the screen. Due to the "flawed" and unique character of the images, many would consider it heresy to attempt to digitally fix/alter the images in Photoshop. It misses the point of shooting with one of these cameras, which is to have fun and understand that there is an element of unpredictability with the images this camera yields.
