I'm still glad I stocked up (my old one got dropped and doesn't stay fixed anymore), but I'm happy they're back.

Oh God! Hide your children. Is this Son of Holga, Bride of Holga or Holga Meets The Wolfman?

This is great news! Thanks for sharing this info Horace! I have a 120N I've been using for about 11 years. Never failed me. And they produce just beautiful images.

Picture of Loading shows the Old Freestyle "English Professional" film. which I always thought had the most offbeat typography of any film backing paper. It was generally believed that film was a product of Ilford.

It looks like there will be a limited run, and they are only going to make the standard 6x6 version.

Just like watching the wonderfull old Hammer horror films just when you think you have killed the monster it arises again in the next film.

And when the hell is GP3 120 going to show up again.....

Yeah! Where's my Shanghai? I've seen it in 8x10 on the bay and seen rumors that it's coming back in 120 and 220 but I've not seen anything beyond rumors. In-fact it was the rumors last summer that got me onto APUG in the first place. GP3 was my main film, I've shot far far less 120 since they stopped.

That is funny as heck.
I swear, a lot of our members have no sense of humor.......

i mailed my holga 120N (S? ) away to a friend when i heard they weren't going to make them anymore
its great to hear/read they will be made again. i wished mine had a bulb feature, it was 1 speed and 2 ( i mean 1 ) stops

I stocked up from eBay. If you're persistent you can find some good deals. Still, glad we'll have a new supply. Lomography can be kind of silly sometimes, but, they are a big promoter of film - good for all of us.

Mine has a bulb feature and two (yes, two) working apertures. They did fix that at some point.

I think that had a lot to do with what Randy had already been doing for years at Holgamods.
