Are you still thinking of coming to the Holga day Mark? You are welcome to shoot a few rolls of film through mine if you like,
after we are finished with the plastic, of course :wink:I’m not sure Sinead to be honest. Work is extremely busy at the moment so not sure what I’m doing.
Will do my best though and thanks for the offer:)

I can see a bid-war :D :D
maybe better telling in advance which one you’re looking at :DMy two pennies worth:
Interesting thread on peoples views on MF cameras. I think ultimately you settle where you can. I am finding more and more 6×6 is just delightful in so many ways for composition. I’ve seen one of those C330’s , felt great in the hand. You can change lens on them I believe, the only TLR you can I believe. I use minolta Autocords myself — find them the sharpest lens going ( aside from big bucks Rollei’s And Hasselblads with Carl Zeiss lens) . Get on with mint glass and wow!
For anyone starting and wanting a cheap feel for 6×6 and like the holga quality, get a bargain basement Zeiss Ikon Nettar Folder or a Agfa Isolette 1,2 or 3 ( if it has a skopar lens the reultas are great. and they fit in a coat pocket with your light meter in the other. Someone made the point about you’ll eventually end up at 10×8 …. there is a certain gravity of curiosity about Large Format that is inevitable, he was bang on, it is like a slow undertow or siren song.
some examples

now my lady, I am ready for a C330-meetup.
just pick a date :Ddublinphotos – Yes, the lenses can be changed on the C300s, I’m not sure about other TLR’s.
Nice pictures you posted there too.And, em, the 8×10 thing… Well, I’m not quite there yet, but, someone did land a 4×5 pinhole in my lap today,
mad looking thing, a bit like a bird house…
So, expect a LF debut posting soon too :mrgreen:Gigi… I’m so pleased you got one, and how could I turn down an offer like that!
Will you be bringing it to the LoFi exchange? I’ll bring mine too
