It’s X’mas already?

This must be one of the craziest day ever in my life. I’ve just crawled back from a short beer session with some friends and I lugged some cool cameras home!!! Gosh … I am a real bitch!

First is this All Weather Actionsampler sent to me by my wonderful sponsor 8storeytree, a pretty fun and cool cam that I’ve always wondered if I should buy. It sure beats the one from Lomography for it’s cool features like capability to take 4 individual shots, 2 sets of 2 identical shots, 4 identical shots and a couple of other stuffs that the one from Lomography ain’t able to do.

On top of that, they sent me the one with the waterproof casing! Oh yeah! Cool! But … I don’t can’t swim and the closest I can get to water is in my shower, I’ll probably make use of the waterproof casing soon when I bring Fitzand to the swimming pool. No, I ain’t gonna take any self portrait in the shower!

Next are some Diana F+ clones that I ordered through a friend in order to share shipping cost …

The Nightcap Diana F+ that’s sold exclusively at Urban Outfitters …

The special edition chrome Chromiac Diana F+ camera …

The limited edition Diana World Tour edition of the Diana F+ camera, the Tokyo Rising …

The special edition of Diana F+ camera, Scarecrow Man that’s only available in Japan …

So I guess X’mas came early this year and I’m playing Santa! With Lomography introducing another 8 more limited edition Diana F+ clones for the other countries they are holding the Diana World Tour … I’m gonna make some big time cost cutting measures so I can buy the cameras too! I have to admit I’m a whore for these plastic cameras. I’ve already sold off quite a few of my digital cameras and lenses just to support this crazy plastic fetish of mine. Next to go … my kidney!

Also, my application to buy a display cabinet for these toys has been approved by my Finance Controller. I’ll go shop for some cheap cabinet these couple of days. Yahoooo!

  1. u sure to go this far for PLASTIC??? [Next to go … my kidney!]
    MAY GOD BLESS YOUR KIDNEY

  2. I was just working on a ‘Diana’s buyer guide’ for the x-mas shopping.. I guess I should have just emailed you first! So how many do you have now?

  3. Nic … I was having beer with Jimmy from 8storeytree last night. Guess what? I asked him the same question! Haha! ‘So how many do you have now?’. His answer was ‘the same number as you have!’.

    Honestly, I’ve never counted them. Since you asked, I’ll do it now. Hmm … Diana+, Diana F+, MoMA, Dreamer, Hong Meow, Scarecrow Man, Black Jack, MEG, LWC, Nightcap, Chromiac, Rudolf, Edelweiss, Tokyo Rising … that’s 14! Damn! I better hope my wife doesn’t read this, or I’ll be dead before Christmas!

    I read that LSI are gonna come out special edition ones for each of the other 8 countries they are having their Diana World Tour in. Man … I do not know what to do now. I’m down to my last couple pieces of digital lenses after selling some off to pay for the plastics listed above. Help!

  4. hahaha!!! It all started with a diana! *evil* BBB!!!

    Btw, do you know LSI also carries the all weather camera(besides that it’s more expensive)?

  5. Cyan! I am damn sure the Diana you sold me was cursed! Arggggghhhh!!!!

    Oh LSI sells that too? I didn’t know that. Damn! They are on a mission to take over all the camera sales in the world, aren’t they?

  6. haha yea, they have that long long time ago. Thought you are LSI loyal customer? Until they increased their shipping? ;p but oh well, that didn’t stop you from buying all the diana clones! 😉

  7. As you can probably see … I ain’t too loyal a LSI customer. 😀 I’m only interested in the Diana and also the LC-A+ 😀

  8. You have it as bad as me! I haven’t ordered the Chromiac or Tokyo one yet. But I do have a total of 86 Dianas, Dian clones, Diana hybrids and Lomo Dianas!
    cheers,
    A

  9. Annette … wow! 86 of ’em? Cool!!! Now I’m sure you’re just like me … can’t wait for the custom named Diana F+ to arrive eh? March is still many months from now 🙁

  10. Jim … don’t laugh. There were more than these that arrived at your home that couple of days before we met. 😛

  11. You guys are lucky that you can find a good beer and a toy camera in the same city! Over here we just go to the bar then after 9 beers start ordering them on our iPhones!

  12. Nic, ordering online using your iPhone ain’t that bad. At least you’ll have to click the OK and CONFIRM buttons.

    Just imagine being at the bar with the owner of an online toy cam store owner (does 8storeytree sound familiar? lol), then after the 9th beer … he’ll say ‘okay, I’ll deliver the cameras to you tomorrow’ even before I could even say ‘yes, I want them’. 😀

  13. I love looking through a post that can make people think. Also, many thanks for permitting me to comment!
