If you remove the shutter mechanism from the Holga, you can use the "Flash/Sun"
switch as a Bulb setting by taping the aperture on the "Sun" side closed.  When the
switch is at "Sun" the shutter is closed.  Sliding it to "Flash" opens the shutter.
Not robust but it works.  You have to also tape over the hole left by the original
shutter slider. If you have a couple of  Holgas, a bulb conversion for one is
reasonable.
