<p>The all-plastic lens on this 60s inspired Diana+ camera will ensure that you get the original &#8220;dreamy, gorgeous, color-drenched, sometimes-blurry, and often-mind-blowing&#8221; feeling in your photos.</p>
<p><span id="more-1469"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>Two Shutter Speeds:</strong><br />
Choose between &#8216;N&#8217; for normal daytime snapshots or &#8216;B&#8217; for unlimited indoor and nighttime exposures.</p>
<p><strong>Two Image Sizes:</strong><br />
For your pleasure, you can choose between the 12 full-frame shots (520&#215;520mm), or 16 smaller square images &#8211; in the classic Diana format (420mx420mm)</p>
<p><strong>Multiple and Partial Exposures:</strong><br />
You can advance the Diana+ as much or as little as you like after each shot &#8211; making multiple exposures, half-exposed frames, and stretched out crazy-long shots a snap.</p>
<p><strong>Pinhole Function:</strong><br />
Remove the lens, set the aperture to a super-small pinhole and shoot a super-wide-angle, severely old-school image through a tiny hole.</p>
<p><strong>Endless Panorama:</strong><br />
Use this setting along with the smaller image format (420mmx420mm) to place sequential frames right next to each other and create a concurrent and unlimited panoramic image.</p>
<p><strong>Shutter Lock and Tripod Thread:</strong><br />
Sharp and solid long exposures (especially pinhole images) require a steady camera. To help you out, there&#8217;s a standard tripod thread on the bottom of your Diana+ and a small shutter lock that allows you to keep the shutter indefinitely without holding it down.
