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 :) 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.
If you get the 35mm attachment, you're really in business. I highly recommend buying some of the other lenses that go with this but come separately. Also, I purchased the ringflash, which adds another dimension to your creative capabilities. I love this camera. 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. B&W, color, whatever. The medium format is probably my most used and adored film format and this camera can do just about anything. 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.
at least mine came with the diana book so i don't feel completely ripped off :( 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. 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.
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 Received camera broken. Lense broke away from camera body.
so i decided i want one now. SO MUCH.i originally got this camera for my boyfriend, who is wayyy into photography and lomography. well, i had NO idea it was so easy to use, took amazing pictures that you can't get with any other camera(no matter what holga's promise to do, although they do have their good points as well), and was so cute and vintage-y to boot.
