Holga vs Zero Image Pinhole
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- After shooting a still life with a digital camera, I thought I would compare a Holga Pinhole with a Zero Image 2000 Deluxe Pinhole to see the difference, if any. I used a simple three LED lighting setup. Pinhole photography is like stepping back in time, and you never really know how your images will turn out. That's part of the fun.

I use two 120 roll-film pinhole cameras: the Holga 120WPC and the Zero Image 6x9.
The Holga comes with a 6x9cm mask and a 6x12cm mask. I only use the 6x9cm mask.
The Zero Image 6x9 comes with two dividers that allow me to shoot 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, or 6x9cm images. However, since I have no desire to shoot any of the smaller aspect ratios, I only use it to shoot 6x9cm images.
It sounds like you know your way around Holgas!
I just bought zero image m 2000 pinhole. Can’t wait to develop those shots and print in my darkroom. I shoot a lot of film, from 35mm to 4x5 but this will be a treat.
Good luck with it. The back dial is handy for calculating exposure, but it takes a couple of rolls to get a good feel for the camera. You'll love the results. Let me know in the comments how it works out.
@@jeffstefan3027 great and thank you. I like the idea of random things happening.

Thank you so much. I love your "Take off lens cap / Wind film" reminder. Why did this never occur to me for my vintage cameras? I also really appreciate the comparison ... I keep wanting these fancy (and expensive) cameras, but I think I'll keep going with my cardboard boxes and cigar boxes. It's just a dark box with a hole in it, after all ... And the difference in sharpness is just going to be a matter of the pinhole itself.
Thanks for the kind words and good luck with your cardboard and cigar boxes. I bet your shots are spectacular.
Nice video on both. I have the Holga 120 WPC which I think
is the Panoramic replacement for the one no longer made and Zero Image is currently making a 120 612F for me. Nice comparison. Looking forward to your other videos.
Thanks! Hang on to your Holga- there are becoming more rare by the day,
‘Graduated from electrical tape and moved on to duct tape’
Now that is a journey 🙂
the light flash on your picture is from the torch you use to see the number on the film.
Interesting possibility ... I wondered about shining a light in there! I keep the little window covered with electrical tape except when I'm winding.
Would you say that the cable release is a must have on the Zero Image 2000?
Yes, a cable release is a must. Pinhole cameras take long exposures and it's almost impossible not to jiggle the camera when exposing by hand.
@@jeffstefan3027 Thank you! I was looking at the different models and your video made it look like the way to go!
Reciprocity failure? No mention, but with fp4 you have to deal with it.
