The Holga Micro 110 is a pocket film camera. The Holga camera is also known as the "Baby Holga". The reason for this is its size. Thanks to the small film format, the camera is also very small. It is made of plastic and that is why it weighs only 30 grams without film.
The small camera is equipped with a fixed 25 mm f/8 lens. The focus is fixed, from one meter to infinity everything should be in focus. The exposure time is also fixed and cannot be changed. With 1/125 second and the aperture of f/8, the Baby Holga can't exactly be called good for dimmed light situations.
Since all possible settings are fixed, it also has no exposure meter or anything similar. The Holga Micro 110 therefore works completely without batteries.
It also has a viewfinder in the form of a plastic frame that opens up. However, you won't find a connection for a flash. The Holga Micro is still being manufactured and is available in various bright colors.
Films for the Holga Micro 110
Pocket films are needed for the Holga Micro 110. Pocket films are being made again today and are easy to get via the internet. Lomography offers films for the 110 format.
Possible films for the Holga Micro 110 are the Lomography Tiger 110* for color photos and the Lomography Orca 110* for b&w images.
The color film is processed in the C-41 development process. This development process is available at almost every photo lab, but pocket films are not always developed.
For black and white film, you need a special black and white developer. Not every photo lab offers the development of this type of photo film. You have full control if you develop the film yourself in the appropriate photo chemistry at home. The costs are also lower than those of an external photo lab in the long run.
