The vintage camera that's back in fashionThe
Lomo Holga Starter Kit (Holga Camera with Flash) is a cheap and minimal camera from Hong Kong and has (we think) produced some of the best photos of the past twenty-five years. Not only that but the
Lomo Holga camera is building up a cult following with exhibitions all over the world. The fact it's quirky and unpredictable only makes it more exciting. Forget spending hundreds on something advanced and complex, with this
Lomo Holga Starter Kit you have everything you need to take a great photo. Not only do you get a black lomo camera but you also get a book on how to take the best pictures with tips, tricks and over 350 breathtaking Holga shots. This is one cult you must get involved in. Provided by Lomography.
Holga camera Description:
The cult medium-format camera with fabulous new features. First up, a colour wheel tints your exposures with yellow, red, blue or clear light. The “B” setting allows you to get creative with dreamy, flashed images for those crisp long exposures.
The Holga uses 120mm film which produces those phenomenal square-orientation photos instead of the regular panoramic ones. The Lomo camera Holga starter kit includes the abbreviated soft cover version of the classic ‘The World Through A Plastic Lens’ book and everything else to get you started into the wonderful world of 120mm medium-format photography!

HERE'S WHAT THE PROFESSOR THINKS - "I'M USUALLY A FAN OF HIGH TECHNOLOGY, BUT IN THE CASE OF THE HOLGA, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THE HOLGA PRODUCES SOME INCREDIBLE LOOKING PHOTOGRAPHY, WITHOUT COSTING THE EARTH. IT'S A BIT RANDOM, BUT THAT'S ALL PART OF THE HOLGA EXPERIENCE. LO - FI PHOTOGRAPHY ROCKS!
