@@coastalartistlivingonislan8395 there's also a cheaper way to do this... There are adapters for 135 film cassetes to fit inside 120 spool casings. I used to do this with my Mamiya C3 a 135 to 120 adapter and a 120 spool with scotch tape to be the film receiver. The only drawback is that once I'd use the whole film, I would have to wait to get back hope and open the film compartment inside my dark room. The last time I saw those adapters, they were like 10 dollars a set of 2...
I like your digital light leaks... while talking about light leaks. There are viewfinder apps on apple or android that let you pick the aspect ratio and lens size. that may help you out. Much easier / more accurate than many viewfinders. Get a phone hotshoe mount, and you're set.
@@MarksPhoto many thanks for the advice. But using a Holga and a digital device (mobile phone) just seems rather odd and counter nature to the Holga itself. "We" use holgas because they are clunky and simple and the final result transmits a certain character... The phone would just numb the fun of the whole process... :) but again, many thanks for the idea!!!
@@paulodefeyter When I take panoramic images of brightly lit cityscapes at night, I mount the Holga on a tripod, set the shutter speed to “Bulb,” and take exposures that may be about 8-seconds in length. I prefer using a cable release to hold the shutter open instead of using my shaky hands.
@Narsuitus that does make sense :) fortunately there is an adapter made in 3d that solves your problem. I looked for it online and its price range goes from 15 USD to 20 USD... It solves your problem :)
Thanks for this information! I went with the sprocket rocket instead. Kinda of the same, but different. Fun for artsy stuff, not client stuff.
I think that in this case, comparing 135 film, the sprocket rocket is a clear winner. Good choice!
@@paulodefeyter it’s fun!

My main complaint is my Holga does not accept a cable release.
Curious... And if I may ask, on what occasions do you need your cable release?
