Holga 135 PC

The Holga 135 PC is a 35mm camera made of plastic. It is almost identical to the Holga 135 in terms of functions and appearance. The big difference is that it is a pinhole camera. That is, instead of passing through a lens, the light passes through a tiny hole.

The Holga 135 PC only has a bulb mode. In this, the shutter stays open and light falls on the film as long as the shutter release button is pressed. For blur-free shooting, it also has a standard tripod mount and a port for a cable release.

The pinhole aperture has a diameter of 0.25 mm. The aperture is specified as f/172. Batteries are not needed for the mechanical camera. The camera uses normal 35mm film (eBay / Amazon*).
