Holga Noob

[carameldrips]

hi guys,
just wanna know sth, i'm using a HOLGA 120GFCN currently. it's like only a day i've get my cam. just wanna know do i have to physical turn the advance knob after each shot to go to the next frame or will the camera do it for us automatically? If it's physically, roughly how many *click click* sounds must be hear to stop for the next shot ? btw, i'm using 35mm film not the 120 type! thanks alot!!

will 1 round be sufficient for the next shot ?
hmm, may i know what'll happen if there isn't enough space for the next shot ? like will the picturers over lap one another ? hahaha, so sorry guys. i'm just a noob. need some advices every now and then! thanks alot

Its roughly one and a half rounds (appx 36 clicks) on most websites but i find the space between each space for that is too wide. Could have taken more shots with those wasted spaces. There's a chart online somewhere which has a detailed number of clicks for each shots.

mine also fit with the 35mm adapter... I turn one and a half to advance the film...

 

[carameldrips]

can i also know how many pictures can we usually take with using 35mm film ? thanks !

 

[gangeslim]

i go by 32 clicks and so far no overlapping.
always managed to squeeze of one more short when i do 32 as opposed to the recommended 34~36

when you load the film, 1st time is turn how many rounds to get the 1st frame?

 

[boogienight]

hmmm i thought when u see the red box inside, u cna see the the next number?

from what i've tried is if you're using the 35mm adapter you just need to turn 1 full round it will more or less give you abt 27 shots for a normal 36 exp film.

if you're not using any adapters and doing the 35mm mod then you could follow the instructions on this link
