UPDATES
It’s official! What we saw and discussed about was exactly the Diana Mini that Lomography has just announced!
The Diana Mini has big shoes to fill being the little sister of the classic beauty Diana F+. Luckily the “Mini” was born a star in her own right. Super sweet, the Diana Mini has got plenty of style and features to the nines. With the flick of a little switch you can move from the retro square format to the amazing Half-Frame, giving you the ability to Shoot Forever, packing 72 shots onto one 35mm film! Her handy-dandy size and limitless creative potential is a revolution in analogue photography.
Will I be getting one of these? Definitely. But not now. The temptation is not strong enough to make me rush into clicking the BUY NOW button. Wait ’til I see my credit card bill this month before making further plans. Hahaha!
The original post …
While Lomography’s website has been getting people to guess a mystery product which is supposed to be announced this coming Wednesday, many has been guessing that it’s a mini Diana camera that uses 35mm film and some even expected it to be a half frame camera.
Not sure how accurate this information I found online is (but it looks pretty damn correct) … the said mystery product is supposed to be a Diana Mini camera. It is said to be using 35mm film and supports both half frame as well as square format on 35mm film.
The camera certainly doesn’t look mini in this photo but I’m very sure it will be really small in real life. Let’s wait another day or two before seeing more photos of it. 😀 I won’t be ordering it so soon … maybe later on when I have something else to buy from them, I’ll add this cutie to to my Diana family … maybe just for the cute factor. I’m sure I won’t be buying other color variations of it (if they ever start another neverending-clone-editions stunt) because I still prefer the original Diana design better (and I don’t have that much money to spare).
