This is actually Alex&#8217;s second Holga 120 and behaves far more like a Holga than his previous unit. While the Holga dates back to 1981, the particular unit he owns today is from the post-2017 resurrection of the iconic camera line. The Holga factory shut down in 2015, but Freestyle Photographic along with a Hong Kong manufacturing company Sunrise tracked down some of the original moulds and restarted production in 2017. Today you can get a plastic lensed 120N or a glass lensed 120GN.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/46178373345\/in\/album-72157661488973661\/\" title=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 52 - On the Scale\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7922\/46178373345_3033919e4f_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" alt=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 52 - On the Scale\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Make: Sunrise<br \/>\nModel: Holga 120N<br \/>\nType: Point-And-Shoot<br \/>\nFormat: Medium Format (120), 6&#215;6 or 4.5&#215;6<br \/>\nLens: Fixed, Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm<br \/>\nYear of Manufacture: 1981-2015, 2017-Present<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/40612247243\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"We Come from the Land of Ice and Snow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7880\/40612247243_375a680761_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"We Come from the Land of Ice and Snow\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; Ilford Pan F+ @ ASA-50 &#8211; Blazinal (1+25) 6:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/46662785385\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Mave&#x27;s\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7865\/46662785385_b43c5376e1_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Mave&#x27;s\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; Ilford Pan F+ @ ASA-50 &#8211; Blazinal (1+25) 6:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/40612247013\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"To All\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7825\/40612247013_cd8d7694c5_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"To All\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; Ilford Pan F+ @ ASA-50 &#8211; Blazinal (1+25) 6:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/40612246913\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Autobody\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7810\/40612246913_28ae076708_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Autobody\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; Ilford Pan F+ @ ASA-50 &#8211; Blazinal (1+25) 6:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rollei 35<\/strong><br \/>\nBill&#8217;s like of the Rollei 35 comes from borrowing the version that his brother Alex owns. And because of that, Bill does recommend getting the German-built version which does have better build quality and optics. A camera small enough to fit in one&#8217;s pocket with the power to take amazing photos. However, the bottom mounted accessory shoe is a bit weird and would make for mounting a rangefinder awkward.

As a long time home-developer, I&#8217;m going to come right out and say the Simplicity Pack is not for me, but if they had something like this when I first got into home-developing, it might have made the transition from lab processing to home processing much easier. Basically, you just have to buy the one box and have enough developer for two rolls of 35mm or one roll of 120. You also get stop bath, fixer, and wetting agent. All in nice easy to use pouches.
