I recommend using the 16-shot frame mask to get the most out of your film. I just purchased this camera recently and saw my developed film. Its looks great. Take this camera everywhere you go. You will not be disappointed.
After all the other reviews, I expected my camera to be either totally brilliant with awesome colors and such, or just a piece of crap. Instead, the pictures turned out fairly average, with only slight changes to normal - but only eight of them turned out, and it was about 5.50 to get them developed. Mostly, though, I like the way it looks, because it's super cute (And a lot bigger than I expected it to) But it wasn't bad, not at all :)
I highly recommend buying some of the other lenses that go with this but come separately. The medium format is probably my most used and adored film format and this camera can do just about anything. I love this camera. Also, I purchased the ringflash, which adds another dimension to your creative capabilities. 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. 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.
i love diana cameras. i love holga cameras and i love lomography.i do not love this new version of the diana camera.i have tried several rolls of film and the camera will not advance properly and jams up at the center of the back. i am partially heartbroken as this was conceptually a brillant idea--to make a 'new' diana.but my advice: go to ebay and get a vintage or buy a holga as they don't have the problems i've experienced with this camera. at least mine came with the diana book so i don't feel completely ripped off :(
Received camera broken. Lense broke away from camera body. It looks as though this was broken before shipping due to the way the camera was packaged.Returned this camera for a refund and subsequently bought another of the same kind from Urban Outfitters
