The Holga camera was initially introduced to the Chinese public in 1982 as an inexpensive camera for everyday use. Shortly after its introduction, it became an underground artistic phenomena. Using the Holga is an exercise in breaking free from dependence on technology, precision and controllability. The slight softness of the images, vignetting and random light leaks produce dream-like, one-of-a kind images.In 2005, Holga went in to limited production of two 35mm Holga models, which sold out quickly and became collector"s items. Encouraged by the success of these cameras, Holga create three new versions of the Holga 35mm models. The Holga 135BC is a standard 35mm camera with similar features to the Holga 120N. To achieve more of the Holga"s trademark vignetting, the Holga 135BC has bent corners that renders the Holga"s retro vignetting in every image
