I'm not sure that "focus" is an appropriate word for a Holga. :-) More like "set it to what you want, and hope it looks vaguely close." I should dig out my Holga (non-flash) and run a roll of Tri-X through it. I tend to use Tri-X with it, because you can overexpose the HECK out of the film without it blocking up, and you get a bit more speed than the slower emulsions. I like the effect with the flash, especially the expression on the face in your photograph. -Mat
