PERSONAL NOTES

The Ferrania Eura feels like a Holga 120N, its very light, cute, and takes 12 square 6x6cm photos on a 120 film roll.

It has only one shutter speed : 1/30s. Aperture is also limited to f8 and f12.

There is a focus scale, so you can have a bit better image quality that other cameras using meniscus lenses.

There is also a PC Sync connector if you want to doflash photography, which can be nice with flashbulbs indoors. It will definitely attract attention.

The design is nicely done, the Ferrania Eura is a nice object to use and look at,

The finder is way better than on a Holga 120N.


CONCLUSION

If you find one cheap, the Ferrania Eura can be a nice alternative to the Holga 120N. It's better and cuter.
