<p>The Kershaw 630 was built from around 1955 by Kershaw-Soho in Leeds, UK.</p>
<p>This medium format camera is solid as a rock and this one is in mint condition! amazing considering the camera is over 50 years old..</p>
<p>It comes with original leather case:</p>
<p><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://www.holgasquare.com/images/kershaw/kershaw-630-1.jpg" alt="Kershaw 630 with case" width="500" height="481" /></p>
<p>I have shot a few rolls of film and achieved some really interesting results, especially cross processed long exposures, will upload photos to flikr when i get around to scanning them in..</p>
<p>The Kershaw can only be used with a shutter release cable, the lens is 80mm/f6.3 stopping to f.22, shutter has speeds 1/25, 1/75, 1/200 and Bulb. 120 film / 6&#215;6 negatives. The Lens Pops/Folds out at the push of a button, what a party trick!</p>

<p>Im really astounded by the quality of photos this antique camera can produce, they are softer than your average SLR but clearer than a holga, dianna or other plastic lens 120 cameras. The clarity of the images is beautiful..</p>
<p>Here are some images from the Kershaw, these are from the first rolln black and white KodakCN 400ISO B&amp;W</p>

<p>The 135BC arrived last week along with 5 rolls of 35mm film!</p>
<p>This mini 35mm holga is very light and I love the design, its a fair bit smaller than the original Holga medium format cams.. Loading with 35mm film was very easy and all functions are clear and simple to use. There is a switch for &#8220;Bulb&#8221; or &#8220;Normal&#8221; shutter speed, flash hot shoe, focusing ring, sunny(f11)/cloudy(f8) aperture switch, tripod screw mount and cable release connection. I was very keen to load and start shooting, many photos in this test roll were shot inside the night I opened the box. I have a standard Holga Flash that works great with all the 120 Holgas and I was happy with the results under flash light on the 135BC, you can grab a Holga Flash from Amazon.com for real cheap: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QHRB0O?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=holgsqua-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000QHRB0O" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.amazon.com');">Holga Manual Shoe Mount Flash!</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=holgsqua-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000QHRB0O" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>
<p>Composing shots made me think differently to using a Holga 120 as the format is not square in these new 35mm models. Considering I went for the black corners model - 135BC - I was expecting pronounced vignetting on almost all shots, I was very surprised to see almost a complete lack of this effect! I would like to test this further, its winter in Melbourne and hard to catch some sunlight so perhaps sunnier conditions could lead to more vignette. The freedom of having 24+ shots rather than 12 (standard 120 film) was cool. Im still a believer that 120 film is more suited to lomo photography and helps to produce dreamy deep and moody shots in a way unlike 35mm film.</p>
<p>Here are some shots from the 135BC (Agfa 200 ISO 35mm Color Negative Film):</p>

<p>Overall this is a sweet little camera, and a nice addition to the Holga family.. The photos from this 1st roll are not as amazing as 120 photos from the other holga models, but the softness of a plastic lens and the slight vignette in these shots make it classic holga!</p>

<p>Im real excited to try one for myself! Have just ordered the Holga 35mm 135BC(Black Corners) model. I will post experiences from the 1st roll on this blog <a href="http://blog.holgasquare.com/">holgasquare.com</a> in a few weeks.</p>
<p>Here are details of the BC model I orderd today:</p>
<p>Holga 35MM 135BC (source: <a href="http://shop.lomography.com/shop/shop_product_view.php?cat=Holga&amp;artID=7858" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/shop.lomography.com');">http://shop.lomography.com/shop/)</a><img class="aligncenter" src="http://holgasquare.com/images/hbc_a.jpg" alt="Holga 35mm BC Model" /></p>
<p>The 135BC model features a unique mask that enhances the shadowy vignette effect on shots taken with this Holga. Standard Holgas are renowned for this effect and im wondering how comparable this effect is in the 35mm models. Firstly I dont think vignette is as suitaded to a non square aspect ratio print that 35mm produces. Vignette with 120 square prints is amazing.</p>
<p>Here are specifications for the 135BC:</p>
<p>size: 4.5&#8243; x 3&#8243; x 2.5&#8243; (Smaller than the standard Holga)<br />
weight: 170grams<br />
format: all 35mm film<br />
lens: plastic 47mm, f/8<br />
focus: manual zone focus with four distance settings<br />
approximate 35mm format equivalent focal length: 38mm<br />
aperature settings: f/8, f/11<br />
shutter speeds: 1/125, &#8220;B&#8221;<br />
flash: standard hotshoe<br />
rear mask for enhanced vignette effect<br />
multiple exposures<br />
standard tripod and cable release threads</p>
<p>Also available is the standard 35mm Holga and the very tempting 35mm Holga Pinhole!</p>
<p>If you have had any experience with these new Holga models please add your opinion to the comments section of this post.<br />
