Re: Re: Light leaks and Holga's

I have 3 friends that regularly shoot holgas and all use black electical tape on all major seams for the camera. None have light leaks.
Buy lots of tape. -Mark

Y'all are being unkind to our plastic friend. My students have done some
great things with their Holgas -- see image #398 at the 2004 WPPD site
http://pinholeday.org/ -- and I just processed four rolls of my own work
whose shortcomings are not related to light leaks.

Of course, the best thing you can do for you Holga is remove the lens
and fit it with a piece of brass, but we already knew that.
