Holga loading?

Question: Holga loading!?

why do you have to advance the film so much when loading 120 film into a holga!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

im guessing its because 120 film just comes on a paper roll that can become easily exposed!. so by making you advance it so much before taking pictures can just be a safety measure, ensuring a first picture that is not over-exposed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's a manufacturing device that allows for mistakes while loading so you don't expose your first frame unintentionally!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

BECAUSE THE ACTUAL SENSITIVE MATERIAL IS ATTACHED WAY INTO THE PAPER SUPPORT TO AVOID FOG!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
