Thanks. I use a small Yashica CS-1 flash that takes 2 x AA batteries. Units like the Diana F+ flash (with hotshoe adaptor) work OK, or the smaller flashes marketed for the Holga. Of course these flashes don't have too great a throw and are more suited for closer work in low light conditions or as a fill-flash, but they do make a difference.

You wouldn't want a flash that is too large, the BBF is small and light as it is and anything too bulky will feel weird and unbalance the camera.
