Starting from scratch with an original 1960's Diana camera, every tiny nook, cranny, gear and wheel was pulled apart to rebuild it from the ground up. Every quirk and "imperfection" was duly noted and reconstructed - yielding a lightweight beauty that handles and feels just like the original.
Dating back to the early 1960s, the all-plastic Diana camera is a cult legend - famous for its dreamy, radiant, and lo-fi images. The brand new Diana F+ is a faithful reproduction and a loving homage to the classic Flash Diana - with a few new features tossed in. First off, it includes a retro-styled electronic flash which fires a burst of white or colored light at your subject. Included adapters allow you to use the Diana Flash on standard hotshoe cameras or use a hotshoe flash on Diana F+ body. Its plastic lens, 2 shutter settings (daylight & "B"), 3 aperture settings, and manual focus are all hallmarks of the original Diana. And on top of that, the Diana F+ 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. Each package includes the new Diana Vignettes, More True Tales & Short Stories book - packed with over 200 pages of Diana history, Diana+ images, and truly off-the-wall fictional stories.
The Diana Flash
Working with the classic 1960's design, we meticulously re-crafted the Diana Flash to look and feel like the original. Its face is cast in reflective silver, and it syncs with the Diana F+ via an old-school metal plug connection. It offers three key capabilities:
Overview
- Film format: 120
- Size: 5" x 3.75" x 3" (12.5cm x 9.5cm x 7.6cm)
- Variable shutter (daytime & "B" for unlimited long exposures)
- 12-shot (5.2x5.2cm), 16-shot (4.2x4.2cm), and endless Panorama (4.6x4.6cm) formats
- Removable lens for super-wide-angle pinhole shots.
The Diana's original all-plastic lens has been duplicated with utmost love and care to ensure the same dreamy, gorgeous, color-drenched, sometimes-blurry, and often-mindblowing results that Diana users have always treasured.
Integrated Color Flash
Just like the Colorsplash camera and Colorsplash Flash, the Diana F+ includes a small packet of plastic color gel filters. Slip one into your flash and throw a burst of colored light at your subject – day or night!
Long Exposure Flash
By setting your Diana F+ to the long exposure "B" setting, you can let all of that streaming ambient light into your image – thereby superimposing a flashed or colorflashed subject against a glowing, riotous, and absolutely beautiful background.
Included Hotshoe Adapter
The Diana Flash works via a two-pronged plug adapter – just like the original! It plugs directly into the Diana F+ camera body. On top of that, a Diana Plug-to-Hotshoe adapter is included, which allows you to use the hi-powered and radiantly beautiful Diana Flash on any standard hotshoe camera – like the LC-A+, Fisheye 2, Holga w/ hotshoe and plenty of others!
Two Image Sizes
For your pleasure, you can choose between the 12 full-frame shots (5.2x5.2cm), or 16 smaller square images - in the classic Diana format (4.2x4.2cm)!
Multiple and Partial Exposures
Like the Holga, you can advance the Diana+ as much or as little as you like after each shot - making multiple exposures, half-exposed frames, and stretched out crazy-long shots a snap.
Pinhole Function
Remove the lens, set the aperture to a super-small pinhole and shoot a super-wide-angle, severely old-school image through a tiny hole.
Endless Panorama
Use this setting along with the smaller image format (4.2x4.2) to place sequential frames right next to each other and create a concurrent and unlimited panoramic image.
Shutter Lock and Tripod Thread
Sharp and solid long exposures (especially pinhole images) require a steady camera. To help you out, we've included a standard tripod thread on the bottom of your Diana+ and a small shutter lock that allows you to keep the shutter indefinitely without holding it down.
2 Year International Warranty
The Diana+ is covered against any manufacturer defects for a full 2 years from the date of purchase. This warranty is valid throughout the world.
