I also love the idea of double exposure as well. If there are any good results I shall post them up here! I have a very good digital too, but I do miss film!

The Holga camera is a good tool for any artist, I know a few artists and photographers that only uses the Holga as unique camera. The effects that the Holga creates in any single frame are simply amazing, the vignetting effect, the old fashions stile, and the most important, the possibility to do multiple exposures. I see that you are choose the 135mm one, but if is possible to you, try the 120mm MF square format. A good option for the Holga camera is use expired film, as a result you will get a more noted old fashion effect (less contrast and saturation). Other effects that you can get are the cross processing effect that will result in a blue dominant in the photo. Lily, I have a professional digital camera, but at the most of the time, I photograph with film because is a totally different sensation, I think that you have made a good choice!! Regards and enjoy your Holga Hello Lily!!
