- Colorsplash Flash
There is a difference between basic functionality and cheaply made. Lomography is all about the former but some manufacturers, including thos ewho make the Colorsplash seem to think it infers the latter. However,if you want a cheap, poorly designed flash Colorsplash flash will fill the bill.

The poor quality and design quickly become apparent - the internal colored lenses aren't fixed in place and detach easily. I was forced to take mine apart to repair it two days out of the box. There is only one slot for adding one of the extra plastic color gel filters - the rest are internal. Add to that the charge time is similar to that found in throwaway cameras and the drain on the battery is significant - resulting in even slower charge times.

One would be better off spending a bit more and purchasing a standard flash attachment especially if you are going to be doing a lot of flash photography - many of these hot-shoe flashes come with hard plastic color lenses. The other option is to use color filters. There is a filter adapter and color filter set available for the Holga that is less expensive than the Colorsplash.

The bottom line is if you want reliablity and durabilty, look elsewhere.

- Great flash for film/analog cameras
Great flash for analog cameras. I'm still trying to figure out how to have the camera just right so there's enough light but not too much to wash out the entire image. It's a bit of a pain to always have to continue charging it for every photo too.

Received the unit and it didn't function after changing batteries. Returned and was credited with full refund.
