Lomo Holga 120-3D et al
Hi all,
Can anyone give me any feedback or better still post up an image taken with a Lomo Holga 120 or its 3D counterpart. I know nothing about these cameras but searching has revealed statements like "Images are extremely soft focus and dreamlike" which i don't want. what i do want is pairs of sharp - well exposed - color slides from an up and coming climbing trip and i need to buy a "cheapish" set up that will do the job. bear in mind that on my last climbing trip to this location I smashed an F3 and dropped a Sp 90 Macro about 300 feet so I am not about to thrown 1000's on a stereo camera. thanks for any input Rob |

Words like "Holga" and "Sharp" don't belong in the same sentence.

I suspect a stereo pair of 6x6 cameras could be made by fixing a couple of Bronicas base to base, but they could set you back £400. Results would be sharp though.

I am sure the results would be astounding but i am not sure how user friendly that rig would be on a rope 500 m off the ground. Or how much it would weigh with consumables.
maybe ill try a pair of OM-1n's but what i was really after was a compact stereo camera for ease of use and weight saving. this is what drew me to the idea of the Holga. Cheers |

At a car boot sale last year I bought a pair of Olympus XA2 cameras which had been attached to a plate about 8" long and they had been modified with a couple of electrical contacts each which connected the two shutters together so either shutter button would fire both cameras.
I assume that this was done for stereo use and would probably be compact enough for your use. Steve. |

Perhaps something like these? Quite expensive but there may be cheaper versions around.
Of course, you only get two half-frame images per 35mm frame so perhaps not so good if you want normal slides... Last edited by Bob; 16th March 2010 at 01:42 PM. |

Back in the dark ages, Pentax produced a beam splitter. I'm still using mine. It might be worth looking.

There are a number of 3D 135 cameras from the 60's like the Stereo Realists. The cheapest medium format one is probably the Russian Sputnik.
