Iris Photo and Digital has one of the largest selections of Holga cameras and accessories in Western Massachusetts. We carry all three styles of the Holga, Without a flash, With a Flash, and With a colorwheel Flash. Plus all sorts of accessories, like filters, fish-eye lenses, Polaroid backs (although Polaroid is out of business we carry the FujiFilm Instax version of this size of film that can be used in the back) and much more.
The Holga has leapt from its 1982 beginnings in Mainland China. Black and White 120 film was the most widely available film in China at the time, and a man named T.M. Lee created a simple easy to use, and cheap to make camera so that even the workingman in China could afford to buy and use one. Now all sorts of people use Holgas, from students looking to experiment with 120 film to artists looking to create unusual and sometimes exciting photos. Photographer David Burnett won a top prize in 2001 shooting a photo of former vice-president Al Gore with Holga so come get your Holga today and get shooting!
