TURNTABLE LAB

the lab review

The all-plastic Diana camera was originally created in the 1960's and immediately drew a cult following thanks to the dreamy, radiant, lo-fi images it creates. An original would be hard to come by these days, but thankfully Lomo has faithfully recreated this legendary camera. The good people at Lomo actually took apart an original 60's Diana and noted every little quirk and "imperfection" so when they reconstructed it, it would handle and feel just like the original. The unique Diana camera shoots in 120 file format in 2 sizes - choose between 12 full-frame shots (5.2x5.2cm) or 16 smaller squares (4.2x4.2). It also features 2 shutter speeds (daytime and nighttime exposures), multiple or partial exposures, removable lens with pinhole function for super-wide angle imagery, an endless panorama feature (use this setting along with the smaller image format (4.2x4.2) to place sequential frames right next to each other and create a concurrent and unlimited panoramic image), shutter lock, tripod thread and a 2 year international warranty.
