Product Description

The brand new Diana F+ is a faithful reproduction and a loving homage to the classic Flash Diana - with a few new features tossed in. First off, it includes a retro-styled electronic flash which fires a burst of white or colored light at your subject. Included adapters allow you to use the Diana Flash on standard hotshoe cameras (like the LC-A+ and Fisheye 2) or use a hotshoe flash on Diana F+ body. Its plastic lens, 2 shutter settings (daylight & "B"), 3 aperture settings, and manual focus are all hallmarks of the original Diana. And on top of that, the Diana F+ offers a removable lens and super-small aperture for pinhole images, two image formats (12 or 16 square shots on a standard 120 roll), an endless panorama feature that allows for unlimited and nearly seamless panoramic shots, and both a standard tripod thread & shutter lock for easy shake-free long exposures. Each package includes the new "Diana Vignettes, More True Tales & Short Stories" book - packed with over 200 pages of Diana history, Diana+ images, and truly off-the-wall fictional stories. Uses all varieties of medium format 120 film.

Got this camera and had a Blast! It's easy to use but offers plenty of room to learn and fine tune your film techniques. The medium format is fun and I shot some great pictures with it, however I completely suggest getting the 35mm back for this camera. The camera has been sturdy for me, I've had no problems and it seems as long as i treat it fairly well it should last a long time for a plastic camera. I've also used a Holga too, and I strongly recommend this camera. You get a lot more options and add-ons with the Diana. good luck, take some fun pictures.

I got this as a gift for my brother - he loves it, has been playing with it, very happy. But if your giving it as a gift, you need to buy 120 medium format film (as opposed to regular 35mm film). This is NOT included with the kit, and you'll have to go a camera shop to get it (i.e. not wal-mart). Interestingly, you do not need batteries - except for the flash (1 AA).

Not a big deal, but luckily I realized the need in time to purchase the film, because Christmas presents are more fun if you can play with them right away.

Would definitely buy this again. Probably not for a very young child unless they're really serious about cameras - has manual focus, lots of fiddly settings - fun for my 30 year old architect brother, not great for an eight year old (I imagine). Have yet to see the pictures it takes to see if they're really that unique - will try to update.

I have no complaints with the camera whatsoever, it works great and does what you've been "promised;" my only regret is that I didn't know how much of a hassle it would be develop the 120mm film! Certainly not the camera's fault, nor is it Lomography's, I just wish I would've done a bit more research to fully understand what I was getting myself into. I'm a big fan of Lomography and have found it to be a fun way to experiment with photography, however, I would've opted for the Diana Mini given my experience and opportunity to experiment with the camera. Granted, I'm not a professional photographer, but this brand encourages all levels of expertise to have fun with photography, and it certainly is fun, but the 35mm Diana Mini would have been a better choice for me. The Mini can use all the accessories that the regular Diana does, except that it uses 35mm film; easier to obtain, to use (load/unload) and less costly to develop!!!!!
