I remember very clearly that this friend &#8230; Jimmy (from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.treesandshrooms.com\" target=\"_blank\">TreesAndShrooms<\/a>) showing me the MEG version of the Diana+ camera &#8230; yeah &#8230; it was red (my fav color!) and the told me that we should buy it. So I did just that &#8230; and then picked up the Lomo World Congress edition too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So with those 2 &#8216;special editions&#8217;, a normal Diana+ and an old original Diana from the 60s &#8230; I wanted to find a &#8216;proper&#8217; space to keep them. My dry cabinet was full of lenses for my DSLR at that time and there was no way the Dianas can fit in there. Oh &#8230; btw &#8230; I&#8217;ve sold of most lenses and my dry cabi is pretty vacant now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One evening after dinner outside &#8230; I happened to see this retro looking first-aid box that I suppose could fit 4 of the Dianas. Took a risk, bought it, brought it home and it fitted the 4 Dianas perfectly! I remember being so happy that I took some photos of it &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc\/Diana%20home%201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc\/Diana%20home%202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was not long later that evil Lomography launched the Diana F+ and the possibility of the camera + flash fitting into such a small box was gone. One by one &#8230; the many editions of the Diana F+ cameras appeared and I had to move those 4 &#8216;pioneer&#8217; Dianas out of the first-aid box into somewhere more &#8216;comfortable&#8217; &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc\/Diana%20home%2009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This image above is what happens now. My wife has not killed me so far for buying all these toys but I&#8217;m sure Fitzand has been eyeing them for quite a while now. I originally dumped all the cameras in few air-tight containers but later on got permission (from my finance controller) to &#8216;invest&#8217; on these shelves from Ikea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was just like yesterday that I bought my first Diana+ camera from Lomography. I know they are some (evil) people churning out tempting plastic crap that are sold at some not-very-cheap prices but I&#8217;ve yet to break free from their evil spell. Maybe I should go for counselling soon &#8230;. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was back in the year 2007 that I started this bad &#8216;addiction&#8217; &#8230; buying the Diana+\/F+ clones from Lomography.
