Holga TIM double trouble
The Holga Tim has some serious limitations when it comes to aperture and shutter settings but what it lacks in that category it gains in others. With it’s two lenses its possible to take all combinations of exposures from 48 half frames to 24 image pairs as well as multiple exposures and even stereoscopic 3D. It’s the multiple exposures that I am interested in here. Advancing the film also sets the shutter but you can reset the shutter again using the slider just above the lenses as well as covering and uncovering each lens with the ‘eyelids’. I think I understand the appeal of simple plastic cameras but using this camera is anything but simple. When It comes to remembering which ‘eye’ to open and when to reset the shutter using the TIM becomes rather complex. So with that and it’s really limited adjustments I wouldn’t recommend this camera as a fun camera to use without care despite its smiling face.
