4.0 out of 5 stars Well I like it., February 27, 2010

This review is from: Diana F+ Lomography Diana F+ 38mm Super Wide Angle Lens (Electronics)

I bought this to use with my Nikon D40. I have to say I wasn't expecting a lot. It's a plastic lens, and some of the joy of plastic lenses comes from things like light leaks on cheap cameras.

But I'm really enjoying it! I have to manually meter, and things aren't sharp, but the metering's simple on a DSLR (just keep adjusting the shutter speed and taking photos until the histogram is correct), and the lack of sharpness is exactly what makes this lens dreamy. Obviously, shooting with a digital camera, I don't have to worry about the cost of developing film, like the previous reviewer.

I was actually looking forward to playing with these photos in Photoshop, but I was surprised to discover they needed minimal post processing.

One nice thing about the lens is that it is super light. Some might complain about that, but I love that I barely feel my camera around my neck with this lens. It means I'll keep my camera with me even more than usual and get more photos.

Amazon's photo policies make me uncomfortable. If you are interested in seeing sample photos with this lens, I have a set on flickr: [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little TOY lens, March 2, 2011

So far, this lens is awesome. It is a plastic toy camera lens and it has exceeded my expectations. As another reviewer stated, you do have to meter manually and you can do this by just adjusting your settings a few times. Eventually, you will find a sweet spot for this lens. I took it out this afternoon for a few minutes and got some really DREAMY shots. I shot RAW and other than adjusting for my white balance, there was very little to no post processing. If you are looking for something FUN, then pick up this lens. As far as construction quality and giving it 5 stars, it is plastic, it is not an expensive lens, so you get what you pay for and I didn't pay much, so I am not expecting a high-quality lens.

I wish this was the standard lens included in purchase of the Diana F+. The combination of medium format film with this wide angle lens is perfect. I have loved all pictures using this lens. So far, no complaints.
