New Holgas?
It seems there have been a few new models released recently, starting off with the Holga 135BC. According to Superheadz.com there are 3 new models coming - the 135, 135PC, and the 120PC. There are no real details; only a couple of images, but what I can gather is the PC models are pinhole cameras.
The lens barrel mentions the pinhole has a diameter of 0.25mm, yet they quote an aperture of f/192. Someone at the UEI factory cannot calculate, because I make that f/240 for the 120 model! Here’s how I came to that conclusion - f/stop = focal length / aperture diameter. So; 60 / 0.25 = 240.
Of course all of this is speculation until they actually come out and we can get our grubby mitts on them. On that note, it appears they have arrived on eBay. Let the buying begin!

I’m not particularly interested in the EF35A. It seems a bit too hi-tech for me! But thanks for mentioning it - I’m sure someone out there will be interested.

Louisclub the holga EF35A doesnt actually count as a holga since it is actually a holga version of one of the older yashicas. This camera was also copied by BeLomo as one of their elikon cameras.
