So the frequency of my blog posts has taken a serious beating of late (doing long hours at work doesn’t seem to help blog productivity??)

Well here’s another photo I took with my Diana+ during my Vietnam/Cambodia trip a few months ago to tie you through to the next post – I promise it’ll be in the next few days!

This shot was taken with my Diana+ on 120 format slide film.

The Diana+ is a remake of the original 1960’s plastic lens Diana camera whose production was discontinued in the 1970’s. Using 120 format film, this lo-fi analogue camera shoots dreamy, colour drenched images with cool and at times unpredictable results.

The Diana+ can shoot multiple formats, has two shutter speeds (daytime and unlimited exposure), four aperture settings (including pinhole), a removable lens (for pinhole mode) and a manual advance wheel that doesn’t lock so you can take multiple or partial exposures. There are also a number of accessories available such as different lenses and flashes.

I finally got one for Christmas last year and I love it. I initially had trouble getting the lens off but Karen and the folks at Lomo HQ Australia were very helpful when contacted and sent a replacement without any fuss.

With the select number of features the Diana+ has, it allows you to get back to the basics of film photography. Point. Shoot and wait with anticipation for your film to be developed.

Oh yeah – I forgot to mention that this classic also looks rad on my shelf at home!
