does anyone here use a Holga? I just bought one. Haven't gotten anything developed yet and was wondering where in Dublin might be best for it and roughly how much it costs.

it's about 4 quid for dev only of 120 in gunns.
you could take slide, but it doesn't have the exposure latitude of print film, and with a holga, you want that latitude.
dunno how much it is for prints off 120.
Been very interested in buying one of these. Can anyone recommend a specific model or website to buy from? Was thinking the 35mm model might be better as the film would be easier to buy. Or is the 120 a better idea?

ooh the vivitar looks cool the micro cam is grand but haven't seen any particularly nice shots taken with it anywhere on flickr.depends what you want, really. i have a 120N holga and a 35mm smena that does similar things - the 35mm film is easier to get and cheaper to have processed, but there's something special about using medium format, so. sorry, that's not very helpful. i bought mine off some random ebay seller.
oh, i got really really nice stuff from a vivitar ultra wide and slim (there's a few flickr groups) and it's 35mm, less shoddy than holga but equally fun, and much cheaper. unfortunately, they don't respond well to being dropped from a height.
i think it was about 10 last time i got 120 prints in gunns. i seem to be collecting films i can't afford to process right now so it's been a while.
and damn, i really want the micro 110. spy camera! want not need.
i have a camera that uses 110 film but i couldnt find anywhere to process it.. i sent it to london once and only time.. put the camera on the shelf never to be used again.. well at least until i move somewhere that does it..

here's a question i've had for ages but never known where to ask*:
i had this camera when i was a kid, i think it came from boots in the uk. the film was a cartridge and it was a pain in the hole to get it processed. it was plastic, with a squarish rectangular body with curved corners, brightly coloured, and the viewfinder was a hollow rectangle of plastic that just flipped up at the top, no glass.
sound vaguely familiar to anyone? i think the entire saga of lisa's adventures in toy cameras is an attempt to get that damn camera back again.
* i have more. babies are made with salt crystals, right?
Any specific shops in Ireland? I'd kind of like to speak to somebody who knows about them for advice etc. Cheers man..|..|You can buy holgas in Ireland but they're expensive, try ebay.
so anyone wanna buy my holga? i used it once. i probably have 18 rolls of film too.
