The hue problem you're talking about is due to the lack of backlight on the negative... Regular flatbeds don't have light on the cover, film scanners do. That increase in light turns the red in to something that programs can use and correct :p I think the V500 has a great epson software, but in any case you always can try the Vuescan... It's great ;)
One thing that people can do to keep costs down is to shoot B&W, develop their own negatives, then scan the negatives. Every now and they you'll come across a real gem that you can have a lab make a print of. You could also have your images much quicker that way.
I'll look into it. I mean when I scanned with a flatbed, the image that was scanned turned out to look rather clear. But I had a problem getting rid of the red/amber hue that is on color film. I tried different programs, but none of them successfully removed the red. I tried a photoshop method, which did next to nothing. So whatever scanner I do get, I hope the software it comes with will get rid of the red hue for me.
Flatbed does not cut it... Believe me I've tried, the only way that could work is if you have one array of leds on the top cover. I have a cheap Hp6670, cost me 25€ (yes I'm in europe :P) and only supports 35mm... For around 100 you can get a nice scanner that can deliver 120 with fine quality.
Can you please make a video explaining the different lens? I just got my first roll developed & a lot of them kinda got cutt off so I wanna know for the next film I use I won't waste them
That's the only downfall that I can't stand about 120. It's far superior in quality and whatnot, but yet it costs me so much more money. I'm looking into processing my own negatives and just trying to scan them with a standard flatbed scanner. That should save me most of the money if the pictures turn out good.
It could be the camera, though sometimes it can relate to the lab that processed the film. Also if it was an older roll of film dust could have scratched it. If the camera is older, that could cause this too.
It seems that in a lot of people's experience their pictures come out with, like, tracks at the top and bottom of the printed pictures. But yours dint? Is there something I'm missing?
There's a lot of films available in the market and I'm actually quite confuse because of this:/ like there's the negative and slide film an i don't understand what they mean:/ does negative film me a that if i develop my pictures, it'll come out in black and white? Sorry if this sounds really dumb:/
Love your videos dude! You do really thorough reviews and really influenced me to buy this camera! But Quick Question: Do you have any issues after getting the film developed? I find that more than half my negatives come out bank! I understand this is a toy camera and wont give you the best quality and how exposure effects the image as well. Could it be an issue with my camera!
It could be an issue with the camera, perhaps the shutter isn't opening, or your lens cap is still on? You should get around the number of exposures you took back with your prints.
Hey NR. Nice video. Question. What is a focal length between a subject and the camera? The reason I ask is it is a rangefinder type of camera and not a through the lens. Thank you.
Hello Eddy! Actually with this camera and Holga cameras, you have to estimate the distance between you and your subject and set the focal length to what you think it will be. It is not a rangefinder, it's more of a guessing camera where you estimate the distances. For a similar camera with no focusing to worry about I recommend the Lomo Aqua Pix, I also have a video on it and a ton of other camera options that may be more what you're looking for on my channel :)
This may sounds like a SUPER dumb question but is everything on this camera the same for the Holga 135 Pinhole?? What's the difference beside the pinhole aspect? Thanks.
Can you tell me what model you can get for around 100? The only ones I find are at least 500 USD. The only thing holding me back from processing my own negatives is the price of the scanner itself.
Hii, I am seeing this video 9 years later but I just purchased this camera and I would like to know what is the button below for ? I hope you will se my comment :) thank you in advance!
Hi! So I've seen your Diana F+, Holga 120 CFN 120mm Camera and this video. I know you said in a video that you liked your Holga 120 better than the Diana F+ but, which Holga do you like to use more the 120 or 135? Also have you found a good place (a drugstore preferably) that sells black and white film?
hi, it was a great video! thanks! can u explain how to load and unload holga? ı'm very confused because some of videos suggest to use black tape. thanks!
You should be fine just loading it like normal. Some people use black tape to tape any cracks or edges so that no light enters but that doesn't seem to be a big issue with the 135.
!0 dollars a roll is not bad at all. Try shooting 120mm film. I get only 12 exposures per roll, and it costs me about 22 bucks per roll to develop. Absolutely ridiculous!
Could you please make a video about the flash and pictures that you have taken with it? By the way, Costco charged me about $6 to print a 36exp roll of 35 mm film. Check them out(:
Yes, you can stop a lot of it by putting black tape around the edges and sealing out all light. I recommend checking out the cameras at ToastPop.com/Shop for a wide variety of cameras to choose from at excellent prices. I have reviews on my channel for almost all of the cameras sold there.
holgas have four already-set modalities of focus, so basically you have a range going from very close (1 meter) to infinity. you just have to play with the gear around the lens and see what happens :)
Wanna ear something awesome? I have all the supplies in my room since I started developing at home. I literally sleep 2 meters (almost 6 feet) from them, and haven't developed a 3 leg or something. They are safe. The only thing is if you wanna develop C-41... You need to develop at a certain temperature or it will f$%& up the colors. There r kits to do it in cold water, and they r not bad. Google rollei digibase c-41
500??? Ever heard of the Epson Perfection V500? This is a monster! I want to buy something like it and it's well below 500... Hell it's below 200 :P Google it and Flickr it, you won't be sorry :)
