HOLGA 2.0 RANGEFINDER CAMERA
Made in Solidworks
Design Inspiration
The Holga is an iconic medium format 120 film camera made in Hong Kong known for its plastic low-cost design. It's beloved for its unique retro picture quality and clunky aesthetic.
Process
I disassembled a Holga to learn about its components. I created a diagram of the explosion model.
I wanted to create a more modern update to the classic Holga featuring customizable electronic dials, a larger viewfinder, and better ergonomic packaged in a sleeker glossy plastic body.
Final Renders
Close up on the viewfinder and customizable dials (shutter speed, aperture, film rewind)
Exploded view of parts.

This was the final project for my Sophomore Year Solidworks class taught by Prof. Adam Smith.
