Some of you might know or read my short interview with this Diana camera lover and also a very talented photographer, Annette (else click here). She sent this image of her Scarecrow Man version of the Diana F+ camera. Look closely and you’ll realise her name is printed on the lens! No, they did not make personalized versions of this camera but she also won the personalized Colette version of the Diana F+ camera in the competition, thus she decided to ‘plant’ the lens with her name onto the Scarecrow Man camera.

This must be a combo made in heaven because she loves photographing scarecrows (and is darn good at it!), so to have her name on the Scarecrow Man camera … makes it the perfect camera! Maybe someday they will also launch a new one called Scarecrow Woman. Hmmm …. Now I just wonder if she is willing to bring it out for shoots or keep it well protected in her cabinet. 😀

She also sent me a photo of her (big!) collection of Diana cameras … from the old Diana and her old clones to the new Diana F+ and the newer clones. Now I’ve gotta get my wife to see this photo and she’ll realise what I have is nothing compared to these. 😀

    Jim … so now are you considering buying back all the dianas you sold? 😀 Perhaps someday there will be a Camel Man camera from Japan too? 😀

    OMG !! I’m gonna show this to my boyfriend too, hoping he’ll understand I’m not that crazy with cameras…
    I just gave up the idea of buying the diana snowcat, nut now that I see this collection… 😀

  6. ndroo on March 6th, 2009 at 12:26 AM:

    Fabyen … how can you not buy the SnowCat? 😀 Annette says that the body has a smooth faux leather texture! That means it’s different from the other clones. Hmm … hahaha.

    fabyen … congrats on the new colette diana. Yeah … keep the cat one in mind. Someday you might just need a new pet. 😀

    Oooh thanks Andrew, that looks lovely to see online. I just made my Scarecrow/AEFournet camera image my computer screen image so I can look at it while I’m in my office. A case of obsession no doubt. But my obsession has brought me a lot of success and happiness, but not much money I’m afraid!

    Show us your entire collection Andrew, I know you have a lot!!!

  10. ndroo on March 6th, 2009 at 12:41 AM:

    Annette … obsession is good. LOL. At least you’ve got lots of success & happiness. I’m sure most of the money were used to feed that devil called obsession. Most of us do too. Grrr.

    As for my collection … like I mentioned above … I only have 2 old Dianas and the rest are the Diana F+ clones. Serious. I have some other cameras but I haven’t got time to take photos of all of them. Some of them are in my ‘About’ page. 😀

    Have fun.

    Oh btw … Annette … if I ever go to your side of the world again someday … I will definitely visit your home and kneel in front of your Diana cabinet for hours. Hahaha!

  12. norya on March 6th, 2009 at 12:45 AM:

    Ben … it will be way to costly to fly all the way there to rob her. 😛

  18. Annette on March 11th, 2009 at 8:42 AM:

    FYI just aquired a ‘Black Bird; Diana and a Valiant Flash. MY collection is growing out of its space.I’m even beginning to think its time to sell it? Ack I’m torn…

  19. ndroo on March 11th, 2009 at 9:17 AM:

    Annette, do not sell them. Just send them to me for safekeeping. I’ll keep ’em safe & sound.

  20. Jeanne on March 15th, 2009 at 6:36 PM:

    I’m thinking about Diana too, but still not enough money in my pocket, haha..

  21. ndroo on March 15th, 2009 at 11:49 PM:

    Jeanne … you’ve gotta get yourself a Diana. Not only it’s pretty … it does take very cool photos as well.

    Thanks

  22. nic on January 4th, 2010 at 10:00 AM:

    Oh Dianas! A whole cupboard of pretty girls!! =))

    Too bad i’m not good with 120 hahah

  23. ndroo on January 4th, 2010 at 10:01 AM:

    @nic : Hahaha! You resurrected this thread and make me drool early in the morning. Anyway, I think most of those in there are old women instead of pretty young girls. Only those on the top shelves are pretty young ones. 😛
