Size of photo developed
Hi, I just bought a Holga and I'm pretty darn confused regarding the sizes of the photos when developed. I bought a Holga 35mm and my question is, are the photos supposed to be printed out much smaller instead of the standard 4R size? The salesperson at Ruby's told me it's supposed to be so much smaller but my local photoshop developed them at 4R size. He said unless you requested it to be expanded, then it should be developed like small photos. Erm, yea. Someone please clear my doubts! LOL. Thank you so much in advance! :lol:

uhhh...? if you want them to be printed at 4R size then just request for it?

So.. typically it should be developed to the size of a 35mm film strip (unless you request for it to be 4R, of course)???

basically what normally happens is that people scan to cd upon. and by nature,if u wanna print,the person will ask u what size. it would normally b 4r. holga 120mm is square. while 35mm is the normal size. nvr seen people print 120mm b4.

Holga 12 frames = 6x6 per frame.
