• My First Experience with a Diana Mini Camera

  
  The Diana Mini is the only camera that reminds me my childhood camera (a Kodak Instamatic, still 100% working). Both have a square format and plastic lens. But the Diana Mini has some more controls and use the common 35mm film format instead of the abandoned 126. Walking in Como during the Christmas holidays, I made the first test of this camera. Here you can find my first impressions.
