Holga 120GN multicolor flash problem
Is there any way to make sure the external flash fires every time I press the shutter on holga 120GN? cos even though I already mount the flash correctly, it only fires once every 5 or 6 (or more) times the shutter is pressed (and yes, I always wait for the ready lamp to be on before pressing). The flash seems to be working fine when I use the -*test*-('") button and also always fires when I mount it on my holga 135BC. Or is there problem with my holga 120? Appreciate any help.

should b the wire in ur gn that is connected to the hotshoe. desolder and solder it back if u have the correct apparatus.

either that, or your hotshoe mount is loose. happens all the times with my holga135bc, always shoot, but the flash doesnt fire. i press my flash hard down on the hotshoe and fire.

check to see if your flash contact is showing. Theres 2 contacts that is required to trigger the flash. The ball at the top + the little fold when you look from the side. Try to get a screwdriver to get the fold out if possible. I've seen a few cases where this contact is pushed into the flash by cameras with tight hotshoe mount.

thanks sapienz! yeah that little fold on the bottom right is stuck inside. how do i actually pull it out using the scredriver? thanks all for the help :D

try using a hairpin or something to pull it out.
