The Diana Flash pack! The folks at Lomo have meticulously recreated the 1960's Diana Flash to look and feel like the original. Its face is cast in reflective silver, and it syncs with the Diana F+ via an old-school metal plug connection. It offers three key capabilities: 1) Integrated color flash. Like their popular Colorsplash cameras this flash allows you to slip in color gel filters(included) for a burst of colored light, day or night. 2)Long Exposure Flash. By setting your Diana F+ to the long exposure "B" setting, you can let streaming ambient light into your image, superimposing a flashed subject against a glowing, riotous, and beautiful background. 3)The Diana Flash attaches to the Diana F+ camera body camera via a two-pronged plug adapter, just like the original! On top of that, a Diana Plug-to-Hotshoe adapter is included, which allows you to use the hi-powered, radiant Diana Flash on any standard hotshoe camera - like the LC-A+, Fisheye 2, Holga w/ hotshoe and plenty of others!
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.
