My first post on the Holga 120 WPC (Wide Pinhole Camera) was done using the 6×9 cm mask. Now I have developed a roll I shot on a walk about in San Jose using the 6×12 cm mask.
The first thing that is noticeable about this wider mask is that there is some mechanical vignetting apparent in the photos. Also, the vignette is asymmetrical with the right side being more pronounced than the left hand side.
Compared to the 6×9 cm mask, I think I prefer the wider format of this mask so that is what I’ll be leaving in the camera for now.
You can see my original review of the Holga 120 WPC (Wide Pinhole Camera) in this post.

Nice examples. I’m looking at this camera right now and having something that was made with it really helps the decision making process.
thanks!

What are you using for a scanner to scan the 6×9 and 6×12 negs?
Cliff – I used an Epson 4490 to scan these
Apparently the hard vignette can be reduced by shaving the front of the camera a bit… My mate Rob explains here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rob_birze/3455468202/
