Diana (camera)

The Diana camera is a plastic-bodied camera that originally used 120 roll film. Contemporary variants use 35mm film or 110 format, and digital versions are also available. The camera has a simple plastic meniscus lens. In recent years, the Diana has been revived and marketed by Lomography as a tool for producing soft-focus, impressionistic photographs reminiscent of early 20th-century Pictorialist art photography. Like other low-cost cameras, the Diana faces limitations such as light leaks and film advance issues. Some of these characteristics are used for artistic effect, often to produce a slightly blurred composition that can provide a 'dreamlike' or impressionistic quality.
