Wow completely unintentional but at 7:46 it looks like Villager is trying to mimic Skull Kid's pose lol
This is by far the best camera review I’ve seen. First of all…No boring unboxing!!! Yes new stuff comes in boxes. We all know that. Move on already. Second you shared the images almost immediately. No waiting for a dissertation for 10 minutes before sharing the results of the camera. Third, the way you shared how the camera worked, buttons and lenses and what not, was tastefully done. You gave your opinion in a fun way. So many YT’ers give camera opinions and are so smug about it. You were sincere and honest without being a dick.
Now, I’m nobody so this may not mean anything to you. If so that’s cool. Either way, I think the video was awesome. I’ve been looking at the Diana and I have some great info to consider it I want to get one.
Thank you sir.
Happy Christmas!!! I love the look, very retro and cool!!! I also really like the fisheye lens!!!
Happy Christmas to you too!! Thanks for watching :)
The shots, that you show, are good ones.
Damn, that lil 15 second intro was actually dope af.
With the thing you said about more vignetting the closer you go, I think if you get the deluxe pack for the camera it comes with a close-up adapter.
the body of the camera doesn't look like an instant film camera at first :)
Ditto. Pretty much my exact experience with this camera. (Except I don’t have enough juice with Lomography to get loaners haha). Bridge shot at 3:25 is *chef’s kiss*. Thanks again for the shoutout - check’s in the mail...
Thanks for letting me pick your brain man!!
@@SweetLouPhotography 👍👍👍
Merry Xmas Lou!
A few days ago I got to wonder what you were up to? BTW, I have the Diana Mini 35mm camera and while it's fun, the shutter is quite fragile.
Merry Christmas to you too!! I have the 120 film Diana currently, but I'd love to play around with the 35mm!! I've been daily posting to celebrate 10k, so I've definitely been busy the last few days ;)
The intro got a like and a sub
Sweet lou's in the kitchen with Diana
Sweet lou's in the kitchen i know
Strumming on the ol' banjo
Hahahaha excellent
5:20 aww, that was a good night 😊
Yes bro!!! I think that was when we met the general hahahah
I just got this camera secondhand from a friend. The film will not eject! I think the shutter is working correctly, but it simply wont come out. Should I contact lomography about this issue? Do they repair cameras? Where should I go?
At first i thought this was a Holga camera. It looks like the exact same body
In terms of mandarin orange brand names: Adorbs (Kroger brand), Cuties, Halo.
Happy Holidays. Would you be down to do a discord event when a bunch of people get in a call sometime?
Let's do that asap!! Happy holidays to you and yours too
Since all the shutter responsibilities are relegated to the lens barrel, I wonder if you can take one apart and mate the back, Instax-y bit to a Graflok 120 film plane like the Impossible Instant Lab and use it on a 4x5 camera. Or hell, even the 2x3, depending on the size of that opening at 9:10.
There is at the very least Instax Back for Diana+, dedicated subsystem to capture on instax mini. I guess it might be transferable, taken care of sealing the meeting perimeter and getting sorted with the distance to the film plane.
Crazy thing, i just bought the sq6 like hours ago and here i am looking up prices for this camera while this video plays in the background... Instant film cameras are an expensive hobby i havent even dipped my toes in yet
SQ6 is good, I have one and my only real complaint is viewfinder parallax.
Hello Dear Author,
you have much more exp than me in that theme, please i need a simple advice..
Going to buy Instant camera as a present for a birthday for a student..
im deciding between OneStep+, and Diana Square. Dont wanna buy Polaroid, cause of films price..
do they both can give same picture quallity? Thank you
Since nobody’s said anything in a month, I’ll chip in. Polaroid’s films are much more temperamental, experimental, and expensive. Instax films are pretty uniform and cheaper. So unless this student is the artsy type, I’d go for the Instax.
@@mikamo i bought instax wide 300 for her(my gf) and we spent like 30 films in 2 days haha, happy like a kids, now want my own one, but may be will try onestep+ or SQ6. Thank you for your answer!
Can you use this indoors? I'm struggling to find the right settings both in and outdoors. The images come out either way to light or completely dark. Have take 20pics, 2 of them are OK quality.
I think you'll need the flash. Pretty hard to expose without it indoors.
@@samsepiol4908 I have the flash! The selfies are all white:/ maybe the flash is too strong, and I was too near?
@@lillahorvath7267 jmm. I don't actually have it. Which apperture do you use with the flash? maybe try to close it a little.
@@samsepiol4908 I think I've tried on every apature lol, will keep testing
I had luck exposing portrait trough pinhole not far from the window. I have used tripod, and it may took about 5-7 minutes, based purely on intuition. Result was surprisingly good.
How much do you actually end up using the 1/100 shutter? Sounds a bit short to me, especially indoors or around sunset.
Also, Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too. I actually used the 1/100 for most of these shots- the Instax film is ISO 800, so it's pretty decent outdoor. Completely agree about the indoor stuff though lol.
Hope some day you'll buy diana f+ and og diana or rebrand to make a comparison.
I have the Diana F (120 film), that review will happen soonish. But honestly I havent made anything with it I'm proud of, so I dont really wanna talk about that camera until I do lol
@@SweetLouPhotography I always was interested what's the difference beetwen og diana and lomography one, the same for lubitel but Diana would be more fair comparison.
@@butlaoctu4464 You have pinhole on lomo F+, also interchangeable lenses. So it is about + to the original. I would also pick Holga, if to explore, I especially love 120WPC - wide pinhole, the ultimate lomo tool.
I took a selfy using that mirror on the front. It worked well.
yeah I guess except *I* was supposed to be in that photo too.... lol
@@SweetLouPhotography 😂😂
Is the film expensive though? Like the new polaroid the film price is just atrocious in my country.
Around here, Instax film goes for between 14 and 16 USD. But you get more exposures, Fuji sells double packs which are 20 exposures as opposed to he 8 you get with Polaroid. I actually recently made a vid comparing fuji and Polaroid, which breaks down pricing and all that jazz
is there any way to use the plastic peg to hold the shutter closed?
Just tested this, you can kinda stick it in there, but the problem is the peg gets held in there by the pressure from the shutter. So when it's closed, it doesn't have that pressure and it can slide right back out (keep in mind though mine is a used model from Lomo, so it's possible a new one might offer more resistance, mine might be worn out)
@@SweetLouPhotography I'm getting a new one at the end of the month, I'll test it out. Thanks for the excellent review btw. Balanced and honest which was exactly what I was looking for.
@@SweetLouPhotography Got the camera! I use the peg occasionally to hold the shutter lever closed, not ideal but it works for a while. My main issue is the exposure timing, Im about £60 in film and I have maybe 5 useable pictures. Oh well. I joined your discord to try and find help and maybe try the challenge. Thanks!
Where can you buy this camera?

i want someone to make an instax square SLR camera with interchangable lenses, that'd be dope AF
The problem with making an SLR Instax is the mirror of an SLR. Polaroid made SLRs (SX-70, etc), because their film is exposed from the front. That’s why the film loads horizontally, because they NEED a mirror to flip the image. On Polaroid film, if you expose it directly to the lens, everything would be reversed. And it’s exactly the opposite with Instax: it’s exposed from the back. So if you use a mirror, then everything would be reversed. Which is why it’s loaded horizontally and exposed directly to the lens. 35mm, 120 and sheet film doesn’t have this problem, because all those films are translucent, i.e., you can see the image from either side of the film. But unless you’re doing an emulsion lift or something, that’s just not the case with instant films.
Can we talk about the chungus on the Polaroid in the background?
He's been hiding in the background for a looooooong time haha. I think it started when I did the vid about the Instax Share SP2??
Would you still recommend the diana without the glass lens?
it's a fun camera for sure either way, I really dig the system. I think you'd have fun with it either way (the glass lens is a nice addition though)
Can u do one for the lomo instant mini : /
I recently got my hands on the lomo instant square-- which has a second film door for instax mini. I haven't owned it long enough to make a review but I made a sort of first thoughts vid on it czcams.com/video/FSE-SMVe20c/video.html
I'll sponsor your vids for $1
send me your practika strap and we'll call it even
I got the pinhole operator one. But I'm very disappointed. These Diana's for me are really just cheap toy cameras. Everything is cheap flimsy plastic and easy to break. If they would charge a few quid; no problem. But like 50? That's insanely overpriced in my opinion.
Do you know why lomography is so f****** expensive? Just because they can?
Enough rant ;) Nice channel and video dude!
