The “Jack White” Limited Edition Holga 120CFN

Jack White HolgaDid you know that Jack White now has his own custom (and limited edition) Holga camera?

Features

The camera is based around the Holga 120CFN and so shares all the features of the camera.

  • Accepts all 120mm film types (Colour, black and white, slide)
  • Plastic 60mm, f/8 Lens
  • Manual focus with four distance settings (Key included on lens)
  • Aperture settings: f/8, f/11
  • Shutter speeds: 1/125, “B“
  • Color gel flash (Red and Clear ONLY)
  • Multiple exposures allowed
  • Standard tripod thread on bottom.

Additional Features

This particular version of the camera comes complete in a box set with all these additional features.

Titanium Fisheye Adaptor lens
The fish eye adapter Fits onto your Holga and offers “knockout super-wide images”, which yield a nearly circular image on a square print.

The lens offers the most extreme effects when literally centimeters away from the subject.

Three Plastic filters
A unique “peppermint” filter that places a soft peppermint design over the top of your photographs. Personally I can’t imagine that you would use this that much, but I guess its a cool idea.

Filter mount
Useful if you get other fiters for your holga, but not essential. Tape usually works and this just adds to the price of the package. Its needed for the Peppermint filter though.

“The World Through a Plastic Lens” book.
Probably one of the more interesting features of the box set is the “world through a plastic lens” book.

Essentials: batteries, tape, and one roll of 120 film.
very usful for people just getting into photography. This package is literally all you need to get your first roll of film done.

My advice is to stick with the original Holga 120CFN, and try and realise that the colour of your Holga really makes no difference to the quality of your photographs. Go on eBay and get yourself a cheap 120CFN rather than this camera if you are serious about photography.

    Hi,

    Although the Holga ‘Jack’ is a 120CFN, the colour gels on the flash are red and clear (white) only…at least it is on mine!

    Hi Mike, thanks a lot for the comment! I will have a look over the specifications now and edit where appropriate!

    cheers :)
