Description Like in a film the motion starts to slow
As the beeping carriage doors begine to close
Momentarily Iā€™m standing froze
Then I jump between the gap
Land on the platform flat

Iā€™m not

LOVING IT. I don't understand why my Diana can't cover the whole surface of the 135 mm film >_>. Im guessing it's the process (or the machine that does it). Anyway! love those little toy cameras, your photos look amazing btw

yup, it's an original 70's camera (or was it 80's? lol). I know 'cause I got it from a store that sells mostly old stuff (I got it for like 50 cents or less), and it was covered with a thin dust layer and it's box had the usual yellow tint due to years of exposure to sunlight .

oh and the first time you have to spin it about 40 clicks, and after each photo it's about 30 clicks, i did 35 on these. x

hi this is me, and yeah i know i'm answering with my other account! but do you have one of these holgas? it's quite simple! what you do is cut two very small pieces of a sponge and fit them in the top and bottom of the 35 mm spool. on the take up spool use a small bit of tape to hold the 35mm film in place. also you have to tape up the hole in the back of the camera or too much light will get in and spoil the film! i'll see if i can find a photo on the internet xxx

Better than a photo! i found a video!

Yes I do have a Holga its awesome but the problem is I couldn't find anyone to develop the films that's way I was looking for an alternative. And the video is great , thank you so much for this
