I just got back the first roll of 35 mm that I ran through my Holga. I used the official adapter, bought from B&H Photo here in Manhattan, so the negative was masked and sprockets left unexposed. I was fine with this, since I really wanted to see what sort exposure the Holga would produce on the much smaller 135 film.
Only one photo (above) demonstrated that the Holga could produce rich color and texture and the strange bokeh it is known for with 135 film. Frankly the rest of the photos were rubbish. Funny that this one gem says ‘Stop,’ but because of it alone I probably will run a few more rolls of 35 mm film through the Holga.

For anyone else who may be interested, the 35mm adapter is Holga item # 155120 and it’s available here:

Well, my blog is quite the B&H sales pitch. Which is fine. Love B&H. I secretly believe, hwoever, that the salesperson is always disappointed when I ask for a Holga accessory, instead of a lens for the Leica I don’t own.
