New Toy: Lomography Diana+

I tried to resist. Really, I did. But ever since I got my Holga 120GN there’s been a part of me that’s kept nagging the rest of me about looking at the Diana+. Just for kicks. Just for extra toy-camera fun.

Last week I cracked:

I just got a new delivery of Fuji Provia 400X so hopefully, in the next week or two, I’ll get some time to take it out for a spin and shoot a test roll (sadly this generally means needing to wait for weekends now because weekdays are dark before I finish work).

I’ll blog the results when I get them.

    ahhhh stop it! I want one too! did you get the whole kit?

  • Dave Pearsonbeta tester replied

    No, just the Diana+ itself. The whole kit, all in one go, starts to be silly money.

    I really love my Holga 120GN but one sadly think is the quality of product….
    thinking about something better like medium format Mamiya or Bronica .
    good luck with the new Diana cam ! interesting to know your opinion about it !

  • Dave Pearsonbeta tester replied

    To be fair, you don’t buy a Holga, Lubitel or Diana for the quality (or, more to the point, you buy them for their lack-of-quality quality).

  • Dave Pearsonbeta tester replied

    Heh, see, that’s how I ended up feeling. And imagine how badly I’m going to need this at some point. ;-)
