First Holga 120N Shots…
-
Bought a Holga from damien_murphy on the site here and ran a roll through on Sunday.
Glad to report that the camera worked a treat, thanks Damien. Quite liberating and enjoyable not having to
worry about manual mode, metering etc… :)I’m ready for a new Lofi event ;)
Anyhow, a couple of quick shots below from the Cork Docklands (ignore the odd dust spot):
Well out of date Tri-x 400, developed in Rodinal 1:25 for 7 mins and scanned.
Well done Mark, two very nice pictures
The Holga pictures are so easy to print in the darkroom. So get in there….
Thanks lads, much appreciated. I’ve wanted to use a Holga for ages and pretty pleased with it so far.
Just loaded it up with another roll :)Martin: I got back in the darkroom over the weekend for the 1st time this year!. Plan on getting in there
weekly if I can at all.Anyhow, thanks again all.
Looks like a good one Mark nice central sharpness in the images, as Martin says easy to print, I generally go straight to GR 5 for the Holga images. I used two roll of that Tri x well out of date about 8 years but was really impressed with the results. I developed in in Id 11. Does anyone know if Tri x is still available fresh.

Not in 220 anymore, but TX-400 in 120 is freely available from what I can see..
Tri-X is still being made and widely available as far as I know. Why do you think it may be otherwise Eddie?
Well done Mark-
though maybe you could have used this post to resuscitate the LoFi section-
seems to have died a death-Probably due to most of the regulars jumping ship…
That’s a pretty wild example you’ve acquired, compared to some of the others I’ve seen-
though you’re not always sure how much cropping has gone on, without showing the rebates-Thanks Joseph and good point about Lofi !. Thread will be moved :)
As for cropping, all the image is there except for the rebates so you’re getting the full effect good or bad :)

I have not used it in a long time, also I have lost track of Kodak films that are still available.
As far as I know there is still Plus-X, Tri-X, Tmax 100, Tmax 400 & Tmax 3200 (35mm only).
these are really nice, some people dont like the vignetting but i bloody love it. like a natural frame. lovely.
Thanks Clive, much appreciated.
Here is another from the roll. Just noticed aside from the bit of dust that it’ll need a bit of work on the bottom of
the shot in the darkroom where the dark line is. Hmmm. All good fun though…
