If I remember correctly, not too long ago … there was some article in Lomography’s website saying that the Diana F+ clones were to come to an end … and that somehow also meant an end to the burning of my wallet to collect the clones … but out of a sudden came a new one (!!!) that looks clean, neat and ermm … cool. Not only the Diana F+ … but the Diana Mini and Fisheye 2 had this ‘special treatment’.
Lomography’s online store has to to say about them …
When conceived, these cameras were meant to commemorate Japan’s Golden Week, a time for celebrating Japanese culture and taking a well-earned rest from work. Now, the cameras have taken on a whole new meaning; they have become a way to help a community with a lot of work ahead of them. With the purchase of this camera you contribute to the donation of EUR 20.000 to the Red Cross Relief Japan.
Diana F+ : KIRAMEKI (happiness)
It will be one big lie to say that I’m getting this one (the Diana F+ only!) just because I wanna do the donation. I will also be another big lie to say that I don’t find the other 2 special edition cameras not tempting. Too bad I have to cut spending to spend on some white substance (aka milk powder) and decided to burn all of my piggies on the Diana F+ only.
Diana Mini : JIYU (freedom)
Fisheye 2 : SHIAWASE (sparking)
Are you getting one of these? 😉
I wonder about the texture of the Diana JIYU when i first saw it this morning.
Seems to me that it’s canvas-like.
@Bone : As a matter of fact … all 3 of them looks like the ‘skins’ are canvas-like. How true … we’ll just have to buy to find out. 😀 Can you help us find out the ones for the Mini & the Fisheye? 😛
Nope! Can’t poison me with these…….for a change….
hahaha
Hah! Well no i won’t fall for the Diana clones.
I’ve already have two Dianas and a mini. I’m fine.
Maybe we could ask the others for the answer?? :}
@Ta : Just you wait!!! Hahahaha!
@Bone : Awww … ok ok … we shall wait …
