Flash Holga

Why do my holga pictures keep looking like normal pictures?

I have a Holga 120 CFN… or something. I just know it’s the CFN with the flash. And I’m using Kodak 120 film with an ISO of 400 at the moment. I take pictures in normal daylight. I’ve thrown out the 6×6 mask and didn’t tape anything up, yet I’ve yet to find any of those famous light leaks on my pictures! Everything looks normal! Why?! Please help!!!

The newer Holga 120 cameras are not as leaky as the originals. Some, myself included, prefer the newer cameras. Light leaks not only come from leaky cameras, but loosely wound film rolls. If you are desperate for flashed film, you can try removing the sponge tensioner in the film compartments. This will allow the film to be wound more loosely, and when the film is removed from the camera, the edges of the film will get flashed. I have also heard of people drilling holes in the camera body for more leakage, but I don’t recommend this. Light leaks may be “interesting”, but they don’t necessarily make better photos.

If you have a Holga 120 GFN, this model has a much sharper glass lens, so you may not get as much edge blur or vignetting in the corners. If this is the case, you might want to trade it down to a 120N or an older model 120S. (look on ebay). The 120S models are the original Holgas, which have no film tensioner and tended to leak more light.
