I saw this camera in an antiques centre where I often head either to chat to the camera guy there or to buy one of the old cameras there. It looked enough like a Leica (from a distance) for me to have to have it. £10 said I could.

Holga 120 GCFN - I love my Holga more than any other of my cameras: medium format, glass lens, blurry edges, corner-vignetting. It’s just a camera with soul.

The WOCA 120G is a discontinued glass lens Holga. It is similar to the Holga 120S in every way except that it has a very inexpensive glass lens. In theory the glass lens should make the images slightly sharper, at least in the middle. Like the original Holga 120S, the WOCA has only one shutter speed, (approximately 1/100th) and only one f/stop at roughly f/8. It uses 120 film and can be adapted, like any other Holga, to shoot 35mm film. Some Holga enthusists shudder (or is that shutter?) at the idea of a glass lens. Yet, at the same time, it is closer to original Holga than the current 120N model, or any of its variants.

Every time I think about my Holga, Alice comes into my mind. Maybe because when I take pictures, shots are taken through the glass lens.
