Another Day Another Camera

Yes, faithful friends, and the kooks and loons, too, last weekend on my (at
least) annual trip to Chicago, I decided to do more than just browse Central
Camera, I decided to buy a camera! No, it's not digital, in fact, it's not
even 35mm (apologies for the OT post)--it's medium-format. One could say
this camera has a stellar reputation for quality of lens and robustness of
build, but one would have to be tongue in cheek, ignorant, or out-right
lieing to do so--I bought a Holga. ;-)
http://www.mattclara.com/misc/holga/ (three images roughly 170 KB each).
Good fun, and surprisingly easy to use. Cost $19. Just look at that lovely
lens flare!

Funny you should say that. A guy pulled a knife on me the other day
and forced a Holga on me. The next day I was out buying a handgun. Things
like that make you rethink your whole attitude towards being armed...

Great shots Matt.
Better than _lens babies_.
Glad to see someone here is *really* enjoying his photography.
One of your Chicago trips you should stop by. I'm 1/2 mile off 94 at
exit 19. Be glad to fire up the BBQ and have a few pops.
Best,

When are you whippersnappers gonna learn that throwing money at
your photos ain't gonna make them better?!!
Not to mention the hackneyed gimmick of a center-spot diffusing
filter...
;-)
Anyway, it's hard to imagine you need a lens hood with that much
vignetting. And I'd love to see the MTF scores on that baby - something
like 0.3 lpmm at the edges...
You got the waist-level finder, power winder, and scanning digital
back for it though, right?
Have fun!

Re: Another Day Another Camera

Haven't you hear yet? Film is dead! So are lenses that don't focus
themselves!
He should be clapped in irons for even thinking about using a camera like
that!

Re: Another Day Another Camera

That first picture is frickin' outstanding. I really like it a lot. I
guess it doesn't matter what type of equipment you have, it's the
photographer that makes the difference. In this case it was the
photographer and the lack of multi-coating on the lens.

Good for you Matt!! I heard each photograph will be different in
exposure, etc. A work of art! Lens flare-------hey that's the beauty
of it! Enjoy it!!

I think the whole thing's great fun. There's a couple others on that page
without the lens flare, if you scroll down.

Wow! That's a pretty neat effect! I don't know why, but if ever you
want
to get rid of that lens flare you can fashion a lens hood from an empty
pork
& beans can. Who says you can't do photography on the cheap?
Definitely
worth the $19 investment.
If you have a decent MF camera, what you do is get the lens-actually
the front standard-off an old and now useless and worthless Polaroid
Highlander-the smaller roll size camera.
Look for a biue or beige one with a serial number starting with "L".
The price is the same, two or three dollars.
