Holga 120N

The Holga 120N is the classic plastic medium-format toy camera: it shoots 120 roll film at 6×6 (12 frames) or 6×4.5 (16 frames) through a plastic 60 mm f/8 lens, with a single 1/100 s shutter plus Bulb, a sunny / cloudy aperture switch and four focus zones. It needs no batteries, has a hot shoe for a flash and a tripod mount, and weighs about 200 g. The simple plastic optics give the soft, vignetted toy-camera look it is known for.

Fun & simple — what it's for

🎉 7.2/10 for fun — a point-and-shoot for parties, weddings, holidays and nights out. Not a serious camera, and not trying to be.

Great at: parties · weddings & events · holidays · festivals · everyday snapshots. No flash — daylight and bright rooms only. Camera Match's Fun & simple mode ranks it against the other point-and-shoots. That ranking allows about £12 a roll for developing on film cameras, so film and instant compare on what you actually pay.

What it costs to shoot

About £0.46 a picture on Kentmere Pan 100 120 Film, the cheapest film in stock that fits, plus developing.

Against other film cameras

Ranked only against cameras of its own kind, on film facts — lens, exposure control, focusing, format and cost per shot. Never against digital cameras.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
