I’ve had my Diana F+ for a few years now and last Christmas I got a Diana Instant Back. Yay!!!
Diana F+ is a remake of the old Diana from the 60’s, the new version is made with cheap plastic! The camera itself is very light and it feels like you’re just holding a toy! Enthusiasts call these kind of cameras “lomo cam”. Diana F+ is fully manual and it needs a 120 film. (You can also buy the 35mm back)
The Diana Instant Back is pretty much like a mini Polaroid, but this one uses the Instax Mini Film.

I’m on my 80th print already!!! Some of the them were a total disaster. When taking a shot, you have to consider the lighting, aperture, and shutter. The outcome might be super exposed (white) or under exposed (just black). You also have to aim your subject perfectly. Diana’s view finder is very wide, i suggest to always put your subject at the center since the film is a mini version of a polaroid. Or you can create your own boarder just like what I did.
If you appreciate instant moments, then this is worth it! It’s fun to shoot and the results are amazing!

I bought this cute Hello Kitty Camera last September, it came with an HK signature filter.
Too bad, i put the filter in a wrong way….
1 › Take your camera everywhere you go.
2 › Use it any time – day and night.
3 › Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it.
4 › Try the shot from the hip.
5 › Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible.
6 › Don’t think. (William Firebrace)
7 › Be fast
8 › You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
9 › Afterwards either.
10 › Don’t worry about any rules.
Analogue Photography simply refers to photography which uses film and a camera. The images are produced in a photolab using a chemical process.
WHY ANALOGUE PHOTOGRAPHY???
Because you like surprises.
Because you don’t mind a little waiting.
Because you want nostalgic and dreamy memories.
