hey, great video, thanks! do you reccomend using this then? are you still planning on creating a DIY version?
Good video, very useful. Do you think one of those masks may do square format pictures on 35mm? that would be sweet if it did!
This is a great review Kai an helped me decide to get this kit. My user manual was misprinted and missing most of the english instructions, but I managed to work it out. I have posted a follow up video on fitting the back and loading film http://www.theplasticlens.com/blog/?p=446" rel="nofollow">here
[...] received my last (and I literally mean my last, sadly - but more on that at a later) order from the Lomographic Society on Friday; a 35mm back for the Diana + cameras, with most of the English instructions missing due to a misprint. I had also ordered a Diana + Edelweiss edition that was broken (lens assembly completely detached from the body, dangling by the wires for the flash) before I even got it out of it’s box. I will be interested to see how the LSI address my concerns, but I have been feeling that the business side of the lomography community/family has changed from being customer focussed to being totally profit driven now, with a good deal of cynicism thrown in for good measure. A few of my friends and online contacts would argue this has been the case for a while but I have held out until recently, believing (hoping) they still cared more about analog photography and the people still practicing it than just the money… Oh well. Because my manual had missing information, I had to ask online for the missing pages (thanks cannibal.animal) as I didn’t want to bust anything when fitting the 35mm back. I thought some people might appreciate a visual walkthrough of the process of fitting the back to the Diana + camera. Kai’s ‘out of the box’ review of the 35mm kit which I mention in the video can be found here. [...]
hey , how many shots can i take with 35mm back? 12/16 just like 120mm film or more?
