The black Holga 120 GN is a medium format camera. It is identical to the Holga 120 N in terms of functionality. The only difference is that the rather simple lens is not made of plastic, but of glass. Whether this has a particular effect on the image quality is debatable. The “G” in its name stands for Glass.
Whether the surcharge for the glass lens is justified is something everyone has to know for themselves.
