The Lomographic Society revives a plastic classic and adds some new features.
The black and robin's-egg-blue Diana of the '60s and '70s is back -- with some major upgrades as the Lomographic Society's Diana+ (direct: $50). It's now packing heaps of megapixels (with a 120-capable film scanner -- not included!), a 33% increase in apertures on its 75mm lens (it now goes to f/gazillion, aka "pinhole"), and a built-in frictional torque Image Stabilization system (otherwise known as a tripod socket).
Yes, we're talking about a 120-film based chintzy plastic camera with a plastic lens that's fully manual. No CIPA battery life rating here -- there's no battery! Burst rate? As quick as you can crank the winder -- but don't do it too fast or you might break something!
