The Holga 120 S is a camera for 120 film. The Holga was designed as an inexpensive camera for the Chinese people. The plastic camera was built in Hong Kong.
It is the predecessor of the Holga 120 N. In its successor, some flaws were eliminated. For example, the tripod mount is more centrally located and the shutter has been improved.
The Holga 120 S has a switch to change the aperture, but this does not change anything. This error has been corrected in the 120 N. In addition, some other bugs have been fixed in the Holga 120 N. The aperture is given as f/8, but it is probably more like f/13.
Production of the 120 S has since been discontinued.
