Product Description
Dating back to the early 1960's, the all-plastic Diana camera is a cult legend - famous for its its dreamy, radiant, and lo-fi images. The brand new DianaF+ is a faithful reproduction and a loving homage to the classic Diana - with a few new features tossed in. Its plastic lens, 2 shutter settings (daylight & "B"), 3 aperture settings, and manual focus are all hallmarks of the original Diana. But on top of that, the DianaF+ 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. IT now also is compatible with the Diana flash. Each package includes the beautiful "Diana Vignettes" book - packed with over 200 pages of Diana history, Diana+ images, and truly off-the-wall short stories. Uses all varieties of medium format 120 film.

I love this camera! The medium format is probably my most used and adored film format and this camera can do just about anything. B&W, color, whatever! It's also a pinhole, which is fantastic because you can have color pinhole photos and have one or two on a role and just keep switching it out. I highly recommend buying some of the other lenses that go with this but come separately. Also, I purchased the ringflash, which adds another dimension to your creative capabilities. If you get the 35mm attachment, you're really in business! Yes, it's a bit expensive (these cameras originally sold for literally pennies when the first generation came out decades ago) but what you can do with these cameras is worth every modern day dollar!

If you understand this cameras flaws, you will understand it's strengths. In gentle understanding hands she will jump to life and astound you with her unique perspectives. When getting aquainted with her, take her on a nice picnic date on a nice bright sunny day. Diana is a sunny day kind of girl, not found of overcast days. She's famous for her light leaks, which are stunning if you've never seen them. Totally unique, no other camera can take pics quite like her.
Advice; use quality film! If you use cheap film don't expect brilliance. I've used 4 rolls of Fuji Film color 400 and the results were less than stunning. Ask the developer to saturate the color, as the color will seem weak when processed on standard settings. The developer will know what you mean. I've shot 2 rolls with Lomography black and white 100 and I was shocked! Totally gorgeous contrasts and depth! When starting out I suggest shelling out and buying nice film, as it will give you a better understanding of what medium format can do.
The bad; made out of plastic. Light as a feather, but could easily break, so be gentle! And never force the film to advance as it could break the mechanism.
I recommend shelling out and buying the deluxe kit which comes with all the lenses and accessories. It's way cheaper than buying it all piecemeal. I have the fisheye lens which makes for some great shots in black and white!

I just purchased this camera recently and saw my developed film. Its looks great! I recommend using the 16-shot frame mask to get the most out of your film. Take this camera everywhere you go. You will not be disappointed.

120mm film
Great camera! It is very difficult to buy film for it though. I had to find a camera shop in town. My recommendation is to order it online. Otherwise great deal for the money.
