Lomography Lomo Diana F+ Deluxe Kit

Taken with Canon EOS 40D  Exposure:1/125  Aperture:f/1.8  ISO:100

The Lomo Diana F+ Deluxe Kit from Lomography contains a Diana F+ camera and all her accessory items. The 120 format camera with its various lenses, and filters enable the photographer to let his or her creativity run wild. The kit includes four Diana+ Lenses, 20mm fisheye, 38mm ultra-wide, 55mm wide, and 110mm telephoto, which mount with a twist onto the main lens.

This camera can shoot strait-forward snapshots, unlimited long exposures, and sweeping panoramas. Photographers have the choice of two shutter speeds, two full-frame image sizes and can create multiple and partial exposures, pinhole photos, round fisheye and wide angle compositions. Plus the kit includes the Diana 35mm back, which is fully interchangeable and easily pops on and off your camera. With this accessory installed you can shoot all types (color, slide, b&w) of 35mm film. With the included Diana+ flash low-light situations can create a whole new vista.


The kit contains all you need to get the most out of this fun to use camera...except for film and your creative imagination.

• Lightweight Plastic Body

• Uses 120 or 35mm Film

Two Shutter Speeds

Choose between "N" for normal daytime snapshots or "B" for unlimited indoor and nighttime exposures.

Two Image Sizes

You can choose between the 12 full-frame shots 2 x 2" (5.2x5.2cm), or 16 smaller square images - 1.65 x 1.65" (4.2x4.2cm).

Multiple and Partial Exposures

You can advance the Diana+ as much or as little as you like after each shot - making multiple exposures, half-exposed frames, and stretched out crazy-long shots a snap.

Pinhole Function

Remove the lens, set the aperture to a super-small pinhole and shoot a super-wide-angle, severely old-school image through a tiny hole.

Endless Panorama

Use this setting along with the smaller image format 1.65 x 1.65" (4.2 x 4.2) to place sequential frames right next to each other and create a concurrent and unlimited panoramic image.

Shutter Lock and Tripod Thread

Sharp and solid long exposures (especially pinhole images) require a steady camera. To help you out, we've included a standard tripod thread on the bottom of your Diana+ and a small shutter lock that allows you to keep the shutter indefinitely without holding it down.

Diana Flash

The face is cast of the Diana Flash is reflective silver, and it syncs with the Diana F+ via an old-school metal plug connection.

Integrated Color Flash

The Diana F+ includes a small packet of plastic color gel filters. Slip one into your flash and throw a burst of colored light at your subject - day or night!

Long Exposure Flash

By setting the Diana F+ to the long exposure "B" setting, you can let ambient light into your image - thereby superimposing a flashed subject against a beautiful background.

Hot Shoe Adapter

The Diana Flash works via a two-pronged plug adapter (included). It plugs directly into the Diana F+ camera body. On top of that, a Diana Plug-to-Hotshoe adapter is included, which allows you to use the hi-powered and radiantly beautiful Diana Flash on any standard hotshoe camera - like the LC-A+, Fisheye 2, Holga w/ hotshoe and plenty of others!

Interchangeable Lenses

The Diana+ Deluxe Kit comes with a variety of lenses. Merely twist off the basic lens (as if you were going to take a pinhole shot), and instantly mount another lens.

20mm Fisheye Lens

The 20mm Fisheye Lens is an interchangeable plastic Diana+ lens that offers a a 180-degree field of view, and a completely circular image on a square print. This high-quality plastic lens perfectly captures the signature look of Diana+ Super-wide-angle images produced by the Fisheye come with a wonderful bonus: focused sharpness from the front to the rear of your image. Each fisheye image shows massive depth of field, so your subject and background will be crisp images - warm, saturated colors, soft focus, and that special dreamlike feeling. A viewfinder and plastic mounting bracket is included with your Fisheye lens. Slip a viewfinder and plastic mounting bracket onto the Diana+'s top crown, and get a dazzling preview of the 180-degree view in front of your face.

Two Fisheye Formats

Shooting with the 20mm Fisheye on the Diana+'s large 12-shot format results in a perfectly circular image nestled inside a square format. Straight lines move from the center to curve and distort at the images. Try the 16-shot format and let that circle spill right into the square edges. You can shoot a series of partial frames to absolutely cover your film with super-wide-fisheye-distorted content.

38mm Diana+ Super Wide Lens

Roughly equivalent to a 25mm lens on a standard 35mm camera, this classic super-wide perspective is a favorite of street photographers and photojournalists. Close subjects assume an in-your-face urgency (and slightly stretched out noses). City and country-scapes take on a sweeping and grandiose air. It features a 120° view angle, full frame with vignetting and edge distortion. It requires the included dedicated viewfinder.

55mm Diana+ Wide & Closeup Lens

The 55mm Wide lens has a focal length is roughly equivalent to a 34mm lens on a standard 35mm camera. The overall effect is a pleasing wider-than-normal view with that same classic Diana+ vignetting, selective focus, and dazzling color saturation. An accessory viewfinder is included to preview your shots. The Close-Up Lens slides directly onto the 55m Wide Lens, allowing for fast, extreme close-up shots whenever the situation arises. Images have a shallow depth of field: meaning that a tiny bit of foreground is in focus against a soft background.

110mm Diana+ Telephoto Lens

The 110mm Diana+ Lens features "perfect imperfections" of a soft telephoto engineered to produce colorful, soft, slightly blurry, vignetted, snapshots. Zoom into your subject and shoot them from afar. Great for candid shots, street photos, distant mountains, and wild horses. Telephoto images also have a compact perspective meaning that face portraits have unusual features. As the focal length of your lens gets longer, the depth of field becomes more shallow. Shoot on a smaller aperture for a dual-focus effect. A viewfinder plastic mounting bracket is included.

Diana+ Splitzer

The Splitzer is a multiple image accessory (included). Slip it onto the top of your Diana F+ lens and twist the blades with your fingers. All you have to do is keep track of what parts of the image you've shot...or not. By slicing and dicing your photos, you can re-combine them to make something entirely new. Shooting lots of double-exposures in the daytime will wash out your image, but users can shoot a full roll of images - changing the Splitzer's position each time. Later on that day, the following day, next month or year, or whatever - reload the film and shoot it again, varying the Splitzer's position for each shot.

Diana+ 35mm Back

Diana+ 35mm Back

Expressly designed for the Diana+, this 35mm back is fully interchangeable and easily pops on and off your camera. With this accessory installed you can shoot all types (color, slide, b&w) of 35mm film. It has two integrated exposure counters tell you the precise frame you're on, and gives users four different image formats: panoramic wiht sprocket holes, standard panorama, standard landscape, and square with sprocket holes.

2-Year International Warranty

The Diana+ is covered against any manufacturer defects for a full 2 years from the date of purchase. This warranty is valid throughout the world.

WORK TIME FUN

Having fun at work(WTF) doesn’t mean that you spend the day shooting crumpled paper balls into the bin, playing solitaire on the computer or talk shits. Rather, it means getting things done in a productive and fulfilling manner, and making work engaging and rewarding.

Fun and laughter at the workplace has many advantages- it can help employees relieve stress, spark creativity, learn efficiently, get along better, and even make your company more attractive to customers and partners.

Work Time Fun is about taking yourself lightly, but taking your work seriously. Make a conscious choice to make your workplace a positive one.

What is Lomography?

Taken with Canon Powershot G7

LOMOGRAPHY is the commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, Austria for products and services related to photography. The name is inspired by the former state-run optics manufacturer LOMO PLC of Saint Petersburg, Russia. LOMO PLC created and produced the 35 mm LOMO LC-A Compact Automat camera — which became the centerpiece of Lomography's marketing and sales activities. This camera was loosely based upon the Cosina CX-1 and introduced in the early 1980s.

In 1991, the Austrian founders of Lomography discovered the Lomo LC-A. As the company states, they were "charmed by the unique, colorful, and sometimes blurry" images that the camera produced. After a series of international art exhibitions and aggressive marketing work, Lomography signed an exclusive distribution agreement with LOMO PLC — thereby becoming the sole distributor of all Lomo LC-A cameras outside of the Soviet Union.

Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, "happy accidents," and alternative film processing are often considered part of the "Lomographic Technique." Users are encouraged to take a lighthearted approach to their photography, and use these techniques to document everyday life, as the Lomo LC-A's small size, simple controls, and ability to shoot in low light encouragescandid photography, photo reportage, and photo vérité through the much-touted "10 Golden Rules."

Since the introduction of the original Lomo LC-A, Lomography has produced and marketed an entire line of their own branded analog cameras. Most Lomographic cameras are designed to produce a single photographic effect. For example, the Lomography Fisheye camera features a built-in wideangle lens, and shoots fisheye-distorted photos. In 2005, production of the original Lomo LC-A was discontinued. Its replacement, the LC-A+, was introduced in Fall 2006. The new camera, made in China rather than Russia, featured the original Russian lens manufactured by LOMO PLC. This changed as of mid-2007 with the lens now made in China as well.

Similar to Eastman Kodak's concept of the "Kodak moment," the Lomography motto of "don't think, just shoot" presumes spontaneity, close-ups, and ubiquity, while deemphasizing formal technique. Typical lomography cameras are deliberately low-fidelity and inexpensively constructed. Some cameras make use of multiple lenses and rainbow-colored flashes, or exhibit extreme optical distortions and even light leaks.

Current models marketed by Lomographische AG include Lomo LC-A, Diana, Holga, Holga 35mm, Actionsampler, Frogeye, Pop-9, Oktomat, Fisheye, Fisheye2, Colorsplash, Colorsplash Flash, F-stop Bang, SuperSampler, Horizon 202, Seagull TLR, and Smena 8M. The company also resells dead stock Polaroid cameras and Russian dead stock - the sort normally acquired at "quirky, old-school camera shops," as the company's web site puts it.

The Lomo LC-A lens effect can be digitally emulated with photo-editing software such as GIMP or Photoshop. In addition, the company's promotional web site for Lomography showcases many high-contrast photographs - with unusual saturation and color - that were created using the technique called cross processing in which film intended for developing in slide chemistry (E-6) is processed in photographic negative chemistry (C-41), and vice versa. This technique can be employed with any film camera and can be somewhat mimicked with digital software as well.

No Time For Tears

Taken with Canon EOS 40D Exposure:1/80  Aperture:f/2.8  ISO:100

It's time to wake up and back to reality

Carry on walking the new path

That lays ahead each day

Go on with life, forget the pain

And cherish those once happy days

Leave the past

Forget it all

And carry on

A dream shall always be a dream

There's no time for tears

When you live in the real world
