For this installment of RTCR, we are asking for your best photos with *sprocket holes*!
As our opening salvo for Round-the-Clock Rumble this week, we will visit the wonderful and truly lomographic feel sprocket holes bring to your shots! Not only is this processing technique unique to film-only cameras, it also provides a great ‘raw’ feel to them!
The spanking brand new Lubitel Universal 166 Plus+ as well as the staple Diana (with 35mm back) are some of the cameras that could take on this unique function. The best shot takes home 10 piggies for his/her lomohome!
Allowed Cameras: Any analog camera with film sprockets uncut during processing (Diana+, Holga, Lubitel, etc.)
Prizes:
- Winner – 10 Piggy points
Upload Limit: 1 Photo
Minimum Dimensions: At least 768px either width or height
Please note that sample photos are theme suggestions only. Feel free to be creative with your interpretation of the theme!
By submitting your photos to this rumble, you allow Lomography.com to use your photos for promotional purposes.
For contest rules and further info on rewards, uploading issues etc., please consult our Rumble F.A.Q.

this challenge pisses me off because I love sprocket holes but I can't get anybody to give me negative scans with the sprocket holes in them... how do you do it if you don't process your film at home? please help!

@kylethefrench
one way is to ask your lab to scan your negative using the medium format film trays... you'll get a lot of black area on the scans which you'll then have to crop in photoshop, but it's the easiest way...
the other way is to ask for a contact sheet... not my favorite thing to do, as i find most contact sheets completely useless...
good luck! :)
