Understanding Different Holga Models

I get a lot of Holga questions, and I must admit that thanks to lomography.com Holgas and Dianas seem to have taken on a life of their own… I also must admit that I’m feeling pretty old, considering that I use a Holga 120s and a Woca and both have been discontinued for a looooong time. So I swiped this little list (from Wikipedia, link below) for those of you trying to make sense of the madness that is picking a Holga today.

120

  • Holga 120S – The original Holga, since discontinued. Fixed shutter speed, adjustable focus, plastic 60mm f/8 meniscus lens, two-position f-stop switch, hot shoe, and 6x4.5cm film mask.
  • WOCA - A Holga 120S with a Japanese-supplied glass meniscus lens, since discontinued and replaced by the Holga 120GN.
  • Holga 120N – Updated version with plastic 60mm f/8 lens, tripod mount, bulb exposure mode, improved film counter window switch, foam inserts to provide film spool tensioning, and an additional 6x6cm film mask
  • Holga 120SF – A standard Holga 120S, with built-in flash
  • Holga 120FN – A Holga 120N with built-in flash
  • Holga 120CFN – A Holga 120FN with built-in color flash
  • Holga 120GN – A Holga 120N with glass lens
  • Holga 120GFN – A Holga 120FN with glass lens and built-in flash
  • Holga 120GCFN – A Holga 120FN with color flash and glass lens
  • Holga 120TLR - A Holga 120CFN with a twin-lens reflex (TLR) viewfinder in lieu of the standard viewfinder, with a relocated color flash
  • Holga 120GTLR - A Holga 120TLR with glass lens
  • Holga 120PC – A pinhole version of the 120N using 6x4.5cm or 6x6cm format
  • Holga 120WPC – A wide pinhole version of the 120N using 6x9 or 6x12cm format

24×36mm

  • Holga 135 – A Holga with 35mm film
  • Holga 135BC – A Holga already made for 35mm film, plastic lens and the same lens mount of the holgas 120 but with 45mm lens. “BC” means “Black Corner, the 135BC model has a built in transparent mask which creates a vignetting effect
  • Holga 135PC – The pinhole version of the Holga 135 BC
  • Holga 135AFX – 38 mm f/3.8 lens with infrared autofocus, automatic film load, built-in pop-up flash and interlock shutter release
  • Holga K202 – Meow Kitty camera in the shape of a cat face with blinking lights and cat sound.
  • Holga K200N - A 35mm film point-and-shoot Holga with colour flash and a dismountable fisheye.
  • Holga K200NM - The K200N plus a fisheye viewer and a multiple exposure button.
  • Holga 135TIM - A half-frame 35mm Holga.
  • Holga 135TLR - A Holga 35mm twin lens reflex.
