| Diana Mini Camera (£49.99) |
Oh that new camera feeling, it's one of my favourite things in the whole entire world. It's kind of like like getting a new pair of shoes, it's something that will go with me pretty much everywhere and I'm already incredibly excited about taking this on it's first mini adventure. My favourite part about it is how tiny it is, so I certainly don't have any excuses not to have a camera on me at any time this year!
Surfdome very kindly gave me a £30 off code to put towards this beauty and I was hitting the checkout button & entering in my details as fast as my little fingers could click and type.
The books that Lomography include with their cameras are always beautiful and a constant source of inspiration. They're packed full of other people's memories and they usually feature a lot of smiles, beautiful places and sweet animals! Flipping through the pages instantly makes me want to grab my camera, a roll of film and get snapping!
I do have a Diana+ camera in my collection, which I adore and the only reason I don't use it very often is because it takes 120 film & to be honest I'm having a bit of a love affair with 35mm again. The Diana mini is perfect because it can shoot up to 72 photographs on to one roll of film on the half frame setting or 36 square pictures and it doesn't limit you to one option or the other - it's possible to shoot a square picture, flip a switch and shoot a half frame afterwards (shooting a blank image in between)!
Do you have a Diana Mini?
Are you a fan of film photography?

What a dinky, adorable little camera! I love that they send a book too - it actually looks really interesting. I can't wait to see some of your photo's! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to start snapping! xo
DeleteI love my mini Diana but I really don't use it as much as I should because I never get around to getting the film developed.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling, I found 5 undeveloped films yesterday! xo
DeleteThis is beautiful, and the little books looks really lovely too!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, whilst I love the convenience of digital photography, I do really miss the excitement of getting a set of photos in the post and not quite knowing how they'll have turned out - it was always a lovely way to look back on a day out or event as a child. I'd definitely love to get a film camera again at some point, when I have a little more funding available for film and getting them developed! :)

It really is exciting getting the film back <3

ReplyDeleteI definitely will <3

DeleteI so want one of these to carry with me around Las Vegas! I have the Lomo fisheye but have always lusted after the Dianas :)
ReplyDeleteOhh it would be so perfect! xo
DeleteI'd love a Diana Mini - mainly because it's much more convinient than the bigger Lomography models. I don't have a Diana in my collection but I do have Holgas & an Oktomat (which takes 35mm) - definitely need to make an effort to use them more again this year! Although, the people at Boots never seem too pleased when you hand them a roll of film without perfectly lined up images to print! x
ReplyDeleteIt's super tiny, the most perfect size for taking everywhere! xo
DeleteThis has got to be one of the cutest cameras I have ever seen and the colour of it is to die for! xx

ReplyDeleteI love the excitement of getting a roll of film back <3

DeleteI've been loving my Diana, but this is making me seriously desire a Mini! I find getting 120 film developed can be really difficult, plus this camera is just way too cute x
ReplyDeleteI really love 35mm film <3

DeleteOoh, this looks adorable. I've never tried a film camera (not since I was a kid using disposables) just because of the hassle/cost of getting the film developed but it is kind of fun to think about not knowing exactly what the picture you've captured looks like until you get the packet of pictures!

I love that feeling of getting a film back <3
DeleteI lvoe film cameras for their unpredictability. I've got aboout 6 rolls of film waiting to be developed and I can't quite remember what I shot! Makes it like a present to get back. I've never used a Diana but have always had a little lust after them. Ever so pretty!

DeleteI am a huge fan of film photography, I learnt all about it while doing my GCSE art and then when I left college I worked at Jessops doing their film work for a couple of years, its always great fun and I enjoyed showing others what they could do after they had taken the photo (like blind photoshop!) ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your lovely camera!

ReplyDeleteOoh lovely! xo

Deletei love my diana mini (i have the white one) - if you use out of date 35mm the photos come out so well! still a bit shaky for mine to be of any good quality at the moment, but hoping that practice will make perfect! x

DeleteThis is A-W-E-S-O-M-E! I saw some lomography cameras while I was at Urban Outfitters in Berlin and I almost got myself a fish eye and holographic normal camera. I think these cameras are so cute! :D
ReplyDeleteThey're so much fun! xo
DeleteThis camera is so cute! x

What a cute little camera! I do love proper old school film photography. I sometimes miss the days of racing down to my local Boots to collect my developed film, because it was always a surprise. OK sometimes not the surprise you were expecting! but a always a surprise nonetheless x
