I’ve been toying with the idea of selling off these three customized Holga cameras for some time and finally, I have decided to put them out for sale here. 100% of the sales amount will go to charity of your choice. Please do consider ‘adopting’ them for charity and contact me for viewing and sale. If you are residing in Singapore, I would gladly accept cheques made payable to the charity of your choice. Overseas customers can pay me through PayPal and I’ll send you copies of the receipts once I make payment to the charity organizations.
The ‘Wooden’ Holga : USD$120 [ SOLD ]
Customized using high quality durable material for that classic wooden feel, using an all-white Holga.
The ‘Stampy’ Holga : USD$120 [ SOLD ]
Customized using real stamps from my old collection and covered with a layer of clear paint coating.
The Lego Holga : USD$150 [ SOLD ]
The amazingly cool Holga customized with 1×1 Lego blocks. Features flip down viewfinder cover and specially made shutter release button.
Buy all three designs and enjoy a special price of only USD$350
Photography lovers, camera collectors and anyone who loves unique customized cameras are welcomed to do you bit for charity and at the same time, own these beautiful unique design cameras. Only 1 piece of each design will ever be done … so you can be assured of owning the most unique Holgas.
Thank you for reading and do spread the word to your friends and families.
* I will bear the cost of packaging and shipping locally and internationally

Update : Sold out
A big thanks to everyone for their support and of course not forgetting those guys at 8storeytree store who snapped up the last unit of my Holga (Wooden Design). Appreciate it!
A cheque made payable to a local charity organization will be made out as soon as I work out all the payments collected.
Update :
I have made a donation (through credit card) of all monies collected from the sale of these 3 cameras to the Singapore Children’s Society. Singapore Children’s Society is an independent and non-profit organisation that relies entirely on the goodwill and support of the public. Again, thanks for all the support and encouragement.
Thanks for all the support. A local photographer expressed interest but will only be able to view the Lego Holga next weekend. Hope it all works out fine. In the meantime, anyone who can confirm purchase within the week will get to buy the camera(s), since I am selling these on a first come first served basis.
Hey hi, do you help people do th designs? 😀
Irene, that can be discussed. Charges for designing them depends on your requirements and I will also donate all profits to charity. Text me at 98ANDREW to discuss. 😉
what’s th number for andrew?
im using pocket pc.
Irene, the full contact # is nine eight two six three seven three nine …
Great! Two of the above cameras (Stampy & Lego) are reserved pending viewing & deal next week. Will hold sales of those two and update should the interested parties back out. Thanks for all the emails and SMSes.
I’ve texted you. haha.
you can just reply me th price of 3 different designs.
Irene, I’ve replied your SMS. Sorry but I will not be doing the same design as any of these up for sale, as I prefer to do unique designs only once.
Do you also do custom “skins” for other cameras?
In specific, a Pentacon 6 or Praktica MTL50?
Sorry I do not do custom skins for cameras. I do not have the necessary cutting equipments or skill to do so. LOL. You can check out http://aki-asahi.com/store/ … they have many nice coverings and I got a couple from them before, for my LC-A+ and Oly Pen.
Thanks alot for the recommendation bro.
My friend is really interested in the lego holga! She might be getting it.
Still checking her budget
Kaze, u r most welcome.
Hope your friend can decide soon, coz I have someone very interested but can only deal on next Saturday. I told him that the first confirmed buyer gets it … you friend can still make it if she decides fast. Honestly, the price of a new Holga plus the packs of Lego … she ain’t paying much more and it’s all for helping others in need. 😀
ndroo gota heart of gold….
Noreen, nah … I don’t have a heart of gold … well it might have a slight shade of gold due to the amount of beer I consume but not the heart of gold you are referring to. 😛
is the lego holga already confirmed?im really intrested in buying it :S
Ragdoll, it is still available pending a viewing on next Saturday. I have told the buyer that I will sell it off to anyone who can confirm by then. Do let me know if you are interested to deal. Thanks.

i am , i am 🙂 i’ll send you an email 🙂 i really hope i can get it
Wow! Thanks for the many replies and interest. I have to do this on a first to confirm basis, so since Shawn has called me a minute ago, I will reserve the Wooden Holga & Lego Holga for him til midnight, pending a final confimation and arrangement.
Ragdoll, sorry but I’ve not receive your mail yet, so priority has to go to Shawn’s offer. Will keep you posted of he doesn’t want the Lego one.
Appreciate your understanding & thanks a million for all your support.
ragdoll, thanks for the email. Keep your fingers crossed and I’ll update you in the morning if Shawn backs out.
Ragdoll, you’re in luck! Shawn can’t decide yet … and it’s midnight. I’ve replied your email to arrange further. Thanks a million.
The Lego Holga is tentatively reserved for sale, pending payment from Ragdoll. Thanks
hi,
great! yey yey! i’ll send you the payment by today. i just cant access my yahoo at work nor paypal..but i’ll definetely send it today! yey! thanks thanks
Thanks a million, Ragdoll. I’ll go pack it up tonight and ship it out tomorrow. Congrats on owning one of the hottest Holga (from the response I got) and my personal favourite. It hurts to let it go but I think it deserves a better home than my little cupboard, and at the same time the $ can help those in need.
Thank you
Ragroll, received the payment with thanks. Will ship it out tomorrow. Thanks for the support.
hi
i just emailed you the shipping address.thanks again 🙂
All Holgas are sold. Again, a big big thank you to everyone for the support.
:D. thanks. can’t wait to get my hands on it.
hey i know all these custom holgas are already sold out, and you prefer making unique holgas only once, do you have any other custom holgas you are working on? i am really interested in purchasing one as a special present to someone. thank you so much
Hi sl,
Sorry but the above Holgas are already sold out. I am now working on a Holga 135BC for someone (http://www.ndroo.com/blog/?p=293). If you are interested in getting one done, perhaps you can drop me a note indicating any idea/design you have in mind and I will consider doing it. Again, all proceeds will go to charity.
Oh wow I just saw these amazing designs! Any chance you are going to make another wooden holga for me to snatch up?
-Gabriel
Thanks Gabriel. Sorry I will not make another wooden Holga ever again, as I prefer to do different designs only once.
omg you are brilliant!
did you use wallpaper?
Ning, thanks. No, I don’t use wallpaper for these. I suppose you are referring to the ‘wooden’ one? It was done using some self adhesive material that I think are meant for furnitures.
Hey there ndroo , love your work on all three especially the wooden one , mind if i ask if your doing it for others for a cost ? IF you are , can you do it for 135? And if you dont , mind telling me the materials/step that you use for the one with the stamp ? looks really cool .
Cheers ,
Eric
@eric : Thanks. I can consider doing for a 135 but I can’t commit at the moment because I am way too busy. Of course if time permits, I might do it with a small charge that goes to charity as well. As for the materials for the stamp one … err … of course you need lots of stamps (haha!) and glue em to the cam. Then spray a few layers of clear paint and you’re all done. Have fun!
Well okay , maybe if you decided to do 1 for charity just drop me an email 😀
Cheers
@eric : Sure. I’ll drop u a note.
I really wish to own one like this…
Hehe, hope that you will make some for charity again!!
I will support you ^^
Or will you have workshop to teach me how to do this? ^^
@Danini : I’ll definitely try make more for charity sale again someday soon when I find enough time. As for how they are done … it depends a lot on the material and design. Quite impossible to actually show how they are done because it’s all a matter of cut/choose and stick. Haha. Just need lots of patience and some planning.
wow terrific job customising these!
@sheryo : Thank you very much.
Great designs!
Do you think it’s possible to make the wooden design but instead with a Holga 135?
@Miko : I am sure it is possible but might be a little bit more challenging because of the ‘holes’ to cut around the film rewind lever, the shutter button, the tripod hole below etc. Some effort need to be put to details.
Ah, what a bummer.
Would you be so kind as to email me directions on how you managed to create these great designs?
I’d really like to customize my own camera anyway :]
@Miko : It is quite impossible to really put them down as instructions because I didn’t take photos of the process when I was doing them. Maybe the next time when I do one, I’ll take some photos to document the process. What you need to do is just do some planning before you start customizing them. Just drop me a note if you need more info. I’ll see what I can help.
Sounds good then!
Thanks in advanced!
