And a couple from the Apache reservation.




I also scored a couple boxes of Polaroid Tungsten 64. Very, very bloooo. I like it, may have to search for some more. Some with my 195 and some with the Colorpack III, and very expired, of course.




Very nice tones...
So, I now have a Polga, which is a holgaroid, or Polaroid back for a Holga. I put in a pack of Chocolate and pretty much had problems right away. The first shot came out decent enough.

But the second shot was mostly blown out. It needs some kind of filter to keep it from overexposing.

And the third shot...well, the tab never came out, so I lost it. I transfered the pack to my Square Shooter when I got home. I have a pack of 679 in right now, but haven't had a chance to go out and shoot again.
I got a very nice 180 for a decent price, so after I've used it a bit, I'll write up a comparison to the 195. I also got a nifty little Agfa 120 box camera for $5, I'll talk about that if it works out okay. And, I want to talk a bit about 126 film at some point. I've had issues with getting a 126 camera that actually works, but I was gifted a very nice Instacora-F2, so maybe now I can use up some of my 126 stock.
Moominsean...out.

Thanks Sean, I had been planning on popping some chocolate into my Holgaroid/Polga but after reading about your experience I'll give it a miss!
ReplyDeleteYou're not wrong about that blooo - it's true blue!

Those blue tones are absolutely stunning. I'd love to see pictures of things that are red shot with it – I bet it'd be crazy!
ReplyDeleteI've got a cardboard box full of film for my Polga ... I always seem to have 120 in my Holga though, must do something about that.
