Holga 120N

The classic Holga toy, medium format camera.  Originally designed by T.M. Lee in 1982, the camera was meant to be an inexpensive, mass-produced, medium format camera for all.  With plastic optics, the Holga has a charm all its own: a pronounced vignetting around images, serendipitous light leaks, and endless exposure opportunities.  This camera has limited exposure controls; essentially only one shutter speed (plus a bulb mode) and one or two aperture settings (depending on the version of 120N you get).  In 2015, Tokina ceased production of this iconic camera and, just two years later, the folks at Freestyle Photographic Supplies tracked down the original molds and began Holga production once again.  With thanks to Lomography, who had revitalized the toy camera movement, and Freestyle for production, this cult classic is still distributed widely in North America.  The Holga features a hotshoe and comes with dual masks for photographing either in 6x4.5cm or 6x6cm formats.
