David,

I, too, love shooting with my modified Holga.  It's a lot of fun, and 
encourages playing around.

I don't know how long you've had yours, but I learned two things which may 
come in handy, if you haven't already figured them out:

1) For more control of exposure, carry a filter...I carry a 55mm polarizer 
left over from my Nikon days, which slots on the front of the lens (you 
have to hold it in place or tape it).  This extended my ability to adjust 
exposure from 2 stops to 4ish stops.  Plus polarized stuff looks cool 
sometimes.  With B&W I carry a red filter.  Same reason.

2) Try shooting with the sun in the frame sometime...the effect with the 
plastic lens can be quite beautiful, if a little unpredictable.

Enjoy,
Aaron
