Thanks to my friend Gabriel gave me a Lomo Diana F+ for my birthday, and now I got a new toy again. I haven’t been using film for age.. and I used film with those dummy camera that you just need to point and shoot and probably you only need to care about was the film speed.
I will say Diana F+ is little bit more advance. There is light icon for aperture (cloudy, sun, partial cloudy). Also, shutter speed has two mode, N and B. If I remember it correctly. N is about 1/65s(?). and B is for “Blub”. Also, my model came with standard 75mm lens. The focus range is “1-2M, 2-4M, 4-inf”. Furthermore, my Diana F+ can also function as pinhole camera! (although I haven’t tried it yet.)
When I first loading the 120mm film, and I had no idea where to begin. Luckily, Internet is a good source for possible finding solution, and there is a video teaching how to load the film. I successfully loaded the film after I watched the video, but I have missed the first film on the counter windows because I thought #”1″ was an “Arrow”, so I had to started with film #2. (Oh well, and I later found out I was using slide instead of negative film! yea, it became cross processing)
Another concern I have was this was really my first time playing with Manual Film Camera. so, I did not expect anything will come out from my first roll of film. haha. (my friend said he got a roll with no image or over exposed… haha ) but actually it came out something.. unfortunately my first attempt unloading the 120mm film from camera was failed and it had been erroneously exposed in light, otherwise, I think they would have looked nice with cross processing.
These are pictures from my first two rolls 120mm films. I scanned them with my D700 and adjusted with Photoshop, so they may not look that well.
Comment are welcome. ^_^
cool photos!
Thanks 🙂
