We were breathe in by classic Holga television camera and wanted to recreate the witching experience of using a Holga with our loved one . We were also convinced we could raise this experience by digitise the original Holga .

The Holga Digital features a glass optic with F2.8 and F8.0 aperture scope , and a switch for toggling between a 4:3 or 1:1 vista proportion . It can be fit with different lenses from Old Holga model , and an outside newsflash . No LCD monitor , just through - the - genus Lens shot like the good ol’ days .
The shots themselves are very much analog , but the television camera ’s communion features are digital — persona are accessed via a WiFi SD carte du jour or USB . Which means you ’ll be able to seamlessly upload your Holga masterpieces to societal media so all your friends can admire and begrudge your retro - chiq sensitivity .
