How to use that film camera? An old holga 120 camera.

Holga camera is a camera with 120 film format. It was produced in Hong Kong in the early 1980s. Since its inception, it has been growing among enthusiasts and lomo photographers. The plastic lens made for Holga is full of many serious shortcomings, such as the edge and color changes, the plastic camera body often leaks light, and there is no connection between film propulsion and cable release, which leads to many unexpected multiple exposures during use. It uses the large width of film to expose.

When in use, the red window counting method on the back of the camera is adopted. When loading the film, align the triangle of protective paper on 120 film with the triangle on the back of the camera, close the back cover, roll the film to the "1" page, press the simple "shutter" lever on the right side of the lens to complete the exposure, and then manually roll the film to the next page for shooting.
