the built-in flash is good only at minimum focusing distance.
its better to get external flash with better guide number.

I'll suggest get one without flash, because the flash spoils easily.

i m getting another holga, this time without flash.
i m not keen on colorsplash bcos it looks really tiny,
probably tiny weenie guide number again.
even the holgon flash guide number is not indicated.
probably a 3rd party.

Basheer is selling this http://shop.lomography.com/colorsplashflash/ at $62.

I've tried attaching the flash on the Ricoh GX100 and it's working.
It will work on the other lomo cams as well.
