Anyone ever heard or come across a Holgaroid, a hybird holga and polaroid? It’s really interesting. Gusto kong makakita nito. Here’s a short explanation from SQUAREFROG:
A Holgaroid is a special kind of Holga hack. It involves replacing the usual Holga back with a Polaroid back, which lets you use Polaroid’s type 80 or type 100 peel-apart film. Polaroid film is a special kind of film that self-develops shortly after exposure, enabling you to check out your creations almost instantly. There have been three versions of the Polaroid back so far, the oldest one wasn’t full frame, so that’s something to look out for if you are looking for a second hand unit. Also, only the newest version is compatible with type 100 film.
The commercial back for the Holga came about after Polaroid Japan saw many enthusiasts create their own backs, and decided manufacture an official back.
In addition to having your prints available almost immediately, you can do lots of fun things with the film as its developing. You can peel and smudge the print to distress your image, you can do image transfers, emulsion lifts, and many more creative things. Polaroid film may seem quite expensive when compared with regular film, but you can often find deals on eBay or photo store clearance bins. Another issue with the Polaroid film is it has a very narrow exposure latitude, which means you have to be very careful about exposing your picture correctly. Its very similar to slide film in that respect.
