This is the first Lomo camera that i bought it from Aksara Bookstore @ Clilandak Town Square, Jakarta, Indonesia. This big boy is the real heavy-hitter, a medium format Pinhole camera in the original full-size Holga body. There’s no need for a lens, as a tiny pinhole on the front of the camera will be your only conduit for light. Due to its small size, every shot is a long exposure – from 1 second in sunlight to several hours on a dark night. Images are extremely soft focus and dreamlike – any moving subject is rendered as a ghostly blur – and a nearly endless depth of field puts both the foreground and background in relative focus. Its use of medium format film ensures the sharper images, deep colors, and rich detail that only 120 emulsions can provide.This is an overview of Holga 120 Pinhole, check this out!

This boxy little guy creates an image using a tiny pinhole rather than a lens. Given this old-school technology, there are a few important characteristics to note: Every exposure will be a long exposure (2 seconds to 30 min or longer!)
- No focusing is required
- Your image will be soft-focus, dreamy, and absolutely unique
- Nearly unlimited depth of field renders both close & far objects in relative focus
- Any subject moving at all will be blurred or invisible
