How i got an Diana F+
Diana F+ is my second lomo (toy camera), before that i had an oktomat (a multi-lens camera burst 8 different shutter in +/- 2 seconds). It was a fun and cheap camera. Ever since i feel in love with toy camera or lomography.
Dropped my Oktomat and spoilt it. Since it is so cheap, i think it was not worth it to send it to repair. So i was hunting for another toy camera, a holga. When i was doing my own research online, i came across this camera, a retro-chic. Without second thought, i went to buy it the second day.
I got mine from Objectifs, at Liang Seah St. Without furthur delay, i load it up and went shooting.
What i like about Diana F+
1. The retro looks and the color.2. The HUGE flash.3. The soft-focus plastic lens.4. Plastic body (super lightweight).5. Dead-simple shutter.
