PERSONAL NOTES

The Holga 135T is an odd camera. It is equipped with a filter turret, which is on the front of the lens. You can choose different filters, color, bi-color, prisms, macro, star, ... So you can apply a different variety of filters on your images.

The camera is a "viewfinder" type, so what you see in the finder is not the same as what the lens sees. So it's impossible to compose knowing what the result will be. So on one side, it's difficult to know what you will get as a final result, but on the other side, it's what lomography is all about : the element of surprise :-)


CONCLUSION

The Holga 135T is fun, but for a real creativity tool, I would suggest the Lomo Pop 9 with filters on it or the Split-Cam, I had way more fun with these.
