My Christmas wishlist just keeps getting bigger and bigger....

Diana 35mm

Take Dreamy Pictures!!! Turn anything into art. "Don't Think Just Shoot"

The Diana is an all plastic camera that was first manufactured in Hong Kong in the 60ies, and Diana+ is a rebuild of the old Diana, made by Lomography in 2007. It is a medium format camera that produces soft and dreamy images with saturated colors, quite the opposite of todays digital.

I would like the try one of this! (via Christine)

This camera takes sixteen 4 × 4 cm pictures on 120 film. Initially produced in the 1960's in Hong Kong by the great wall plastic factory, this camera is considered to be vintage today. It was featured in Urban Outfitters as a novelty camera. It has some flaws such as light leaking onto the film but aside from that, the Diana camera is fun to photograph with.

Think I only like wine? Guess again. This is not just a toy camera. You can take some really great photos with this thing, photos you'd never get out of a point and shoot digital number. If you're not going to give me wine, this is the kind of gift I'd love to get. SOOOO much fun!

Aside from the retro appeal of this 1960's camera, there's a resurgence of nondigital camera. The Diana camera is known for it's soft focus and lo-fi images.
