Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Holga Polaroid Instant Film Back, Uses T80 Series and 669 / 690 Type Films.
Customer Review: Too much fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit I went back and forth in my mind before plunking down $150 for this thing. Not counting the cost of the film, of course, which is not cheap. I so far have only used Polaroid 669, and that will run you just north of $1 a shot. And it probably will not get cheaper in the future. Fuji makes instant film for this also. I can confirm that Fuji FP-3000B film absolutely works with this back as I just developed a shot 2 minutes ago. So you have other choices besides Polaroid film.
Anyway, in spite of the expense, I absolutely love it! There is just something about the quality of the photo that I cannot duplicate with my Nikon Dxxx. The colors are great and the results are as sharp or sharper than anything I get with my digital. However, this is not intended to be a film versus digital debate - you can read about that anywhere. For me, my Holga and dlsr complement each other and serve totally different purposes.
I admittedly have an addiction to acquiring camera gear, accessories, etc. that far exceed my needs. Too much of it sits in their boxes never to see the light of day. But since I bought the Holga Polaroid back, I find that I not only pick up my Holga every single day, but I do so with a renewed sense of joy and anticipation. That is the true measure, in my opinion, of the worth of any product like this.
It is as simple to use as any similar type back. It attaches via your camera's slide rails and it adds a tripod mount. Just pop in your film, don't forget to move your dark slide, and you are good to go. As is evident from the product photo, it obscures the finder, but it comes with an external finder you can attach to the top of your Holga. Works well enough.
I highly recommend this product because it adds a huge new dimension to the Holga photography experience. I rarely ever used film cameras because I simply don't like waiting for my results, having to drop off/pick up film. This product erases that substantial barrier. It can get a little pricey with the cost of film and all, so just be aware of this going in and enjoy.
