want to buy a holga,

[EEKaWILL]

So i have a DSLR but i wanna start shooting film and i thought id go for a Holga since they're cheap like me haha and they are cool i like all the difference things you can do with them, but i don't know what the difference between all the different models... Here's what i am wondering which Holga is the best or should i say the most versatile? I was thinking i want one with an external flash so i can make a cheap filters for the flash to get cool colors or would it be better to get filters like this (Holga Filter Set - Holga Accessories - Holga Cameras - Cameras - Lomography Shop) and not worry about the flash so much??I see they have so many versions and i cant tell whats the big difference between all of them and what are the pros and cons to each type?? any info would be cool i am a total amateur when it comes to shooting with film... and any tips or tricks you guys like to do with your holgas would be cool!!

Olympus e-520 with the 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 and 40-150mm 1:4-5.6 lenes, why do you ask?

Because in some cases you're better off finding a film body that can take your SLR lenses. For instance, I use a Nikon D80/D300s, but I went out and got a Nikon FE: the mount is the same, the film body was cheap, and it works. So I can use lenses on both.

In your case, there arent many olympus film bodies lying around. If you're lucky, you might find an old film PEN camera, which would be awesome, but it likely wont be cheap.

A holga might be worth the time, but i've never been a fan.
