The Holga is a low cost, easy to use plastic “toy” camera originally made in Hong Kong in the early 1980s.
It was intended as an inexpensive all-purpose camera for the Chinese working class. It uses 120 medium format film, making photos at 6 x 4.5 cm or 6 x 6 cm. With the high quality of digital pho- tography these days, the Holga and its low quality lens is the opposite
of perfection. Rather than showing crispness, edge to edge sharpness and perfect exposure, the pictures produced by the Holga are typified by distortion, vignettes, blur and light leaks.
