Collected my Diana Mini this afternoon (thanks to Joey). The first impression even before opening up the package … CUTE! Even the compact box it somes with is so cute! I quickly ran back to the office and opened it up … and it is ermm … CUTE! Maybe I’m used to looking at the normal Diana cameras, so this one looks really way too small … it feels like a toy instead of a camera. Must keep it out of Fitzand’s reach at least for the moment.
Even the back cover is like the 120 elder sister (Diana F+) … it slides down to reveal the film compartment. Cool idea though it might be a little inconvenient to change film out in the field. Can’t wait to test it out soon. Hmm … maybe I can use this to shoot my 2nd roll for the ’36 Frames : II’ challenge. It will be fun using the half frame for this … as I will have 72 frames of the same subject instead!
Why did I even bother with this blog entry when I’ve not even used the camera and the image above is also not taken my me? Hahaha. Okay … I actually published another entry with my first roll of ’36 Frames : II’ challenge photos but decided to remove it until the deadline is over. Fair enough? Hahaha. I was told that in case someone has the same idea and might have to re-think/re-shoot his/her roll after seeing a similar one by me.
I’ll replace this entry with another one tonight. It is too much effort to remove this without replacing another one for the ‘latest entries’ section here.
Cheers!
wor!! CUTE right! lol. time to collect the mini series.
@ymmij : Collect? Nah. Not for the Mini. I’m thinking of ‘dressing up’ this Mini though. Haha.
I’m sitting here waiting for mine to show up. Can’t wait to get it. I look forward to seeing your shots with it!
@tylercorc : Hope yours appear soon. I cant’ wait to use it. Maybe tonight if I don’t fall asleep early … I can try finish a roll. Haha.
