And where did this "controlled study" take place?

And where did this "controlled study" take place? :)

Before you scan, clean the film with the proper tools ( like the brush with the bulb to squeeze air out). After you have the digital image of the film, use editing software to eliminate the dust spots, or possible scratches.
It's a small thing to do for the love of film :)

A good quality scan can have two benefits. You get great detail and the option of digital editing. I've scanned 35mm and 120 film. I love film. It has some characteristics that that digital needs editing to get.
Film Grain can be a beautiful thing. That's why digital editing software as ways to put grain into a digital photo.

I shoot Holga and wanted to start a 'TOY' camera collection to play with. Knowing the quirks Holgas can have I am interested to find out what other toys will do.

Yes, toy cameras is the title. Lomo is a general name for simple "toy' and other low tech film cameras.

Anybody know how to repair Lomo cameras? I just got 2 Lomo toy cameras on eBay that don't work. The spring action for the shutter is worn out. Anybody know where to get very little springs so I can replace them?

I like the artsy images you can get with a Holga camera.
I want to play with the simple unexpected possibilities a toy camera can bring. I want to step out of the box and see in a new way.

When I want sharp images I use digital. I've been shooting digital images and Portraits for years. Formal and informal. I feel that my "focus" has narrowed.
I'll still shoot digitally and hopefully I'll get a new eye and new view by playing with toys.

I started with a 120N when I was taking an alternative photography class. I fell in love with the options in this simple camera. I was able to process the film in class then. It could have been hard to get the 120 processed to my requirements elsewhere. Things like DON"T CUT MY FILM!!
I like shooting multiple over laying images that can take up 3-6 'normal size' frames. I just got a Holga 135 and did a modification to a 120N to shoot 35mm and I'm looking forward to seeing what I can get. I'll be processing my film myself at home.

A great description of Holga cameras from Don Craig:
I think the charm and attraction of lomography is using a low-tech retro style camera to shoot film. The results are surreal and dream-like, in some cases psychedelic A different style, I like looking at them.

And I like to shoot Holga for all of these possibilities and more.

I have a Holga lens for my Nikon as well as a number of Holga film cameras. I enjoy shooting both film and digital.

I love shooting Holga. Got hooked playing with this film media a few years ago. Needed to put it on hold for little while.
Now there's time to play again and want to expand on it.

Medium format is nice but I'm also using 35mm. I have a 135 Holga for single frame 35mm shoots. I'm also using a 120N with a modification for 35mm film so I can shoot longer images using full film exposure.

I'll still be shooting digitally as well.

I'll be using both 35mm and 120 B&W film and processing it at home.

I shoot both film and digital. I've been shooting digital portraits for the last 9 years. I'll still do that, but I'll make 2015 a Holga year. I used Helga 120N film cameras for almost everyday for about a year. It's a fun camera to use. The surprising and quirky results you can get from this camera are fun to work and play with.
