Diana+


Dating back to the early 1960ʼs, the all-plastic Diana camera is a cult legend - famous for its its dreamy, radiant, and lo-fi images. Our brand new Diana+ 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 Diana+ 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.

The Diana is the original plastic fantastic art camera. It hasn't been available for years and has been replaced by the Holga. The Diana returns improved. The Diana microsite has more information on this resurrection. I want one of these but my camera budget has been blown well into next year. If anyone wants to buy me one, email me and I will let you know where to send it. It's only $50. :-) I'll send a print from a photo taken with the Diana+ to the generous reader that should send me one. Just a thought.
