Hi,

I haven't tried  with a Holga, but I've used Konica 120 in my Diana, which
would probably yield similar results. I still haven't figured out how far to
push during developing, but even so I found the images interesting, and the
film quite suited to a plastic camera. If you like, I can e-mail a sample
result, as my web page is still not up.
