Holga 120FN "Toy Camera"

I am somewhat late jumping on the "Toy Camera" craze but I suppose it was only a matter of time before I gave in an d bought one to see what all the fuss was about.
The Holga 120FN as its name suggests takes 120 roll film or you can "shoot sprockets" by fudging a 35mm film into it.
The plastic lens adds a dreamy vignetted quality to the images. Focus is guess work, no meter just two apertures of f8 a d f11 (cloudy or sunny)
For this image I used Ilford FP4 a 125ASA film, probably better off using a slightly faster film like HP5 but nonethe less I like the result.
