The 38mm Diana+ Super Wide Lens
A full-frame treat for the wide-angle connoisseur
“Full-frame super-wide view” can be roughly translated as such: taking that Diana+ image that you know and love, letting in a ton of new info and content from all around your head (including a lot that your eyes can’t see) and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g it all out to the very corners of your frame. Roughly equivalent to a 25mm lens on a standard 35mm camera, this classic super-wide perspective is a favorite of street photographers and photojournalists the world over. And for good reasons! Close subjects assume an in-your-face urgency (and slightly stretched out noses). City and country-scapes take on a sweeping and grandiose air. The 38mm Lens is sure to tickle your fancy as well. Here’s why:
120° View Angle: Capture a whole lot more of the world around you onto your image.
Full Frame: Let all of that super-wide magic run to the very edges of your print
Vignetting and Edge Distortion: The dreamy look n’ feel of the classic Diana+ image is fully maintained, with signature darkening and a bit of blurriness at the corners.
Accessory Viewfinder: A little plastic friend is included inside for a fairly accurate preview of your shot. Or, have a look at the next point…
True Hipshot Potential: With a Super-Wide lens, everything in front of your camera will pretty much be on the film. Feel free to forget the viewfinder and shoot from the hip!
