While visiting friends of my father, I stumbled upon a camera I had been looking for everywhere: the Yashica Mat 124G. Its previous owner sold it to me in near-mint condition for extremely cheap, and I already love it. Here are my first impressions.

Will a roll of 220 film fit into your Holga? Do you have to make any special modifications to use it? I found the answers by reading articles online, but more importantly, through trial and error.

This camera, its design and possibilities are enormous. As a reflex camera can have a clear idea of what you're photographing, focus and shoot. Its wide range of speeds and aperture openings allows you to take pictures in all situations. They are also formats: square, rectangular and 35mm can also be used ... is a lovely camera!.

Pretending not to know what is on your film can be really thrilling!

An annual car meet located in a field outside a tiny town called Tølløse. All cars are welcome, classic as well as new, just as long as they are American made.

From smooth, realistic colours when processed in c41, to funky mints, blues and peaches when cross processed, this film gives you a lot of options.

Strikingly modern architecture colliding with heavy brickwork from 1906 on the Copenhagen waterfront. There's a cafe, a concert hall, and The National Museum of Photography. And of course there are books too!
-
A reasonably priced film that can handle most of what you might choose to throw at it. Don't expect any craziness! This is a gentle film, the tones are mellow even when cross processed.

For two years she has been my faithful friend, my most treasured companion, my rock in a sea of turmoil. We have stuck together through thick and thin, Holga and I, but now she has passed on.

If you're in for more experiments and wanting to do something with your rolls of film a bit differently other than baking it, cutting it into pieces and even fermenting it; how about cross processing? I know, this is much common now in Lomography next to cheddar cheese, but there is a scientific way of doing it! And all you need to know about it is here, courtesy of our Tipster of the week!

How about a Midsummer's Eve bonfire to keep you warm in these cold winter months?

The Mamiya Press Universal is big, weighty and boxy. But this beautiful camera is quite possibly the best medium format camera you can find!

The digital image processing is omnipresent these days, and more often than not we are always confronted of the film's possible extinction in the future. But we're Lomographers, right? And we don't believe in such cynical pronouncement. Just like our tipster here who just can't get enough of using medium format film!

She knows a lot about manipulating films and how to use them creatively, but Eggzakly succumbed to her undying curiosity and took things further with this experiment!

Nørreport Station is in the center of Copenhagen and fully subterranean. It has three platforms: Metro, S-trains (greater Copenhagen metropolitan area), and regional- and InterCity trains (throughout the country). It's the busiest station in Denmark - approximately 300000 people travel through every day. Currently, it's the only station that connects to both the Metro and regional train networks.

The Botanical Garden in Copenhagen is owned by University of Copenhagen, and has a history that goes back to 1600. As the garden, the university and the city developed, it was moved from location to location until October 9th 1874, when the garden opened in its present location. Close to Nørreport Station, it's open during the day and entry is free.

As I like to use science for good Lomographic reasons, let me present you the External Shot counter!

Many of us get our start in medium format photography when we buy our first Holga. The size of the negative blows us away in comparison to those 24mm x 36mm rectangles. And while I would never be without a Holga sometimes I need a little more precision and focus. When that happens I turn to my Pentax 645, a medium format camera with the handling of a 35mm SLR.

Twice the length, twice the fun! Another one of those discontinued Agfa films (it's sad, isn't it?). With patience, and a little luck, it can be found cheap in discount bins or on ebay, and it's well worth the effort!

After a while I started photography I had the wish to try medium format. So my photography teacher in school said one day to me that he will borrow me his Yashica MAT 124G. I have plenty of time, I don`t have to hurry, he`ll tell me when he wants his camera back.
