To commemorate the Diana World Tour event in Hong Kong (the very first stop of the Diana World Tour, mind you), we’re thrilled to present an exclusive limited edition clone of the Diana F+ camera. “Hong Meow” is the phonetic translation of “Panda” in Cantonese – Hong Kong’s spoken language. As in neighboring mainland China, the Panda is one of Hong Kong’s most beloved symbols. This limited edition was designed by the Lomography Asia team and features:
- Black and white color scheme and “Bamboo Green” wrist strap
- “Hong Meow” name plate with Panda-themed distance icons
- Customized outer box with bamboo graphics and images from the Panda photoshoot in Hong Kong
All About the Diana+ & Diana F+
New to the Diana+? Never tasted the sweet thrill of clicking its shutter, winding its film, and peering through it’s little red window. Here’s all the crucial facts on this lo-fi hot-stepper:
- A faithful reproduction and a loving homage to the original 60’s Diana – capable of the same dreamy & radiant images – and with a few new features tossed in.
- Its plastic lens, 2 shutter settings (daylight & “B”), 3 aperture settings, and manual focus are all hallmarks of the original Diana.
- The Diana+ offers a removable lens and super-small aperture for pinhole images, two image formats (12 or 16 square shots on a standard 120 roll), an endless panorama feature that allows for unlimited and nearly seamless panoramic shots, and both a standard tripod thread & shutter lock for easy shake-free long exposures.
- Each package includes the beautiful “Diana Vignettes” book – packed with over 200 pages of Diana history, Diana+ images, and truly off-the-wall short stories.
- The Diana F+ package includes the amazing electronic Diana Flash – to illuminate your subject with a burst of white or colored light
- Uses all varieties of medium format 120 film.
