The Holga\u00a0Tim has some serious limitations when it comes to aperture and shutter settings but what it lacks in that category\u00a0it gains in others.\u00a0 With it’s two lenses its possible to take all combinations of exposures from 48 half\u00a0frames to 24\u00a0 image pairs as well as multiple exposures and even stereoscopic 3D.\u00a0 It’s the multiple exposures that I am interested in here.\u00a0 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’.\u00a0 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\u00a0using the TIM becomes rather complex.\u00a0So with that and it’s really limited adjustments I wouldn’t\u00a0recommend this camera as a fun camera to use without care despite its smiling face.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
