   Great for the Diana Lover!, June 15, 2011

   This review is from: Diana Deluxe Kit for Camera (Camera)

   The Diana Deluxe Kit is exactly what you’d want if you are interested in purchasing a Diana F+. It comes with nearly every Diana accessory available by Lomography. The only accessory missing is the instant back which runs about 95 dollars on their site. Inside is an assortment of five lenses, splitzer, 35mm back, flash, hot shoe adapter, view finders, and cable release & collar. This is packaged, as you can tell from the picture, pretty well. My only qualm is that it took me a while to find the gel filters for the flash. They were kind of hidden to the point I wasn’t sure if mine were included. It comes with a flashy manual for every piece of equipment. Oh, and it comes with little handy bags that you can put your lenses in!

   This is my favorite camera offered by Lomography and this kit is well worth the price if you plan on using it a lot and want to collect all the accessories for it. You will save a lot of money in the long run.
   The quality of the pictures will come out great if you learn how to use Diana. She’s an unpredictable camera- a little temperamental at times, but will bring you utter joy when you see how awesome your photos can come out. I just love the fisheye lens. Saved myself from buying a fisheye camera! I recommend for those new to Lomography or even photography to read all the manuals. Maybe some people think they don’t need to but it never hurts to acquaint yourself with it, especially with the lenses. But always have fun with it and don’t think too hard!

   This review is from: Lomography Diana F+ Medium Format Camera with Flash (Electronics)

   I have no complaints with the camera whatsoever, it works great and does what you’ve been “promised;” my only regret is that I didn’t know how much of a hassle it would be develop the 120mm film! Certainly not the camera’s fault, nor is it Lomography’s, I just wish I would’ve done a bit more research to fully understand what I was getting myself into. I’m a big fan of Lomography and have found it to be a fun way to experiment with photography, however, I would’ve opted for the Diana Mini given my experience and opportunity to experiment with the camera. Granted, I’m not a professional photographer, but this brand encourages all levels of expertise to have fun with photography, and it certainly is fun, but the 35mm Diana Mini would have been a better choice for me. The Mini can use all the accessories that the regular Diana does, except that it uses 35mm film; easier to obtain, to use (load/unload) and less costly to develop!!!!!

   I went out on a limb and ordered this deluxe kit from Lomography at a massive discount despite a few very negative reviews that expressed frustration with the 35 mm back being defective upon arrival. While this may concern people, it should be taken into account whether or not they actually tried to fix this problem or are just bitching and not giving customer service an opportunity to help them. I called Amazon, who was willing to expedite a new set overnight to make up for the problems with the one I had. After that point I managed to get ahold of the actual Lomography store/headquarters based in NYC and the girl was very candid in telling me that there was a manufacturing issue with a certain batch of the deluxe kits, but all it required was that a tiny plastic piece be swapped out in a procedure you can do yourself. She gave me the option of mailing a DIY fix it kit or offered that the company cover shipping costs for me to ship the actual back into them and they would fix it, and not once asked me to very that I had even purchased the camera from their direct website. They will honor the warranty regardless of where you purchase it, and it’s a pretty safe bet Amazon is an authorized dealer. In my experience if you call and are pleasant, you will receive the most wonderful costumer service ever. This kit saves you about $40 in overall equipment cost in comparison to other amazon prices, double that and that’s how much you save in comparison to the lomography website’s price. The kit includes sleek and convenient nylon bags for the 4 lenses, and a larger bag that can fit any choice of other accessories. Also with how much you save, you can treat yourself to the leather flash case, which I highly recommend!
