more lomo talk

This is more of a post to keep a record of findings, if you will.

Trying to decide between the Diana+, Diana F+ and the La Sardina (specifically, with Flash - Orinoco Ochre)

• the Diana+ is cheaper than the Diana F+ (but the F+ has heaps of extra attachments and such)
• the Diana + has heaps of lens/flash/ other attachments, not sure if they work with the Diana F+ though
• both use 120mm film
• although cheaper Diana+ does not come with flash so it ends up costing just a little more with this accessory
• the splitzer attachment works with both cameras
• seems that some of the lenses are compatible with both cameras (need to check up on this though) and I am failing to find many differences between them
• lenses are pricey !!
• 35mm film back works with both cameras, but it's $68, eeep !
• 35mm film is significantly cheaper than 120mm film (plus you'll need to pay to develop the photos and what-not)
• I have no clue about which film is the best so that will have to be later research (there are different types of the same film size)
• leather camera bags are $60 but I can honestly make my own for cheaper ! (will need to use leather)
• flash cases are also available which will prove much needed !
• the store has more range after you click 'buy now' on a product (don't confuse yourself, it's not the same store- it's like the checkout)
• http://www.lomography.ashop.com.au/p/1212085/fisheye-no2---i-love-you-i-love-lomo.html cutest present ;) tehehehe
• generally, I'd rather go with the Diana F+ seeing as most attachments are available on it because it works out cheaper in the end
• also, it seems that the Diana F+ camera has more features in the camera itself

Now the sardina

• http://www.lomography.ashop.com.au/p/5821057/la-sardina---belle-starr.html (so pretty)
• uses 35mm film so cheaper to run, therefore more photos for the same price
• easy multiple exposures
• wide-angle lens already
• $150 which is a little more expensive than the initial Diana camera but there are no attachments for this one so no ongoing costs in this department

I would go with the Diana F+ camera in a second if it used 35mm film, but perhaps I could scour ebay for a cheaper back

Could also get a fisheye 2 camera but the features are limited (I would buy the underwater package in this case...maybe, it's lots of monies though). But I don't know, swaying away from fisheyes for now...


http://australia.shop.lomography.com -another site to buy off

Or I could just completely ditch this site and find one off another.
Or I could just buy a disposable camera....

TOO MANY OPTIONS !

Need to look these up at some later stage:

• Canon T1I
• Canon Powershot
• Canon AE-1
• Yashica T5D
• Diana F+
• Lomo LC-A+
• Minolta XA
• Yashica Electro GSN 35
• Polaroid
• Canon Sure Shot A-1 Underwater

Now, I do have an analog camera at home which is quite old but it's not a common style so it's very difficult to try and figure out it's features -plus mum would kill me if I broke it.


I like looking this stuff up -before I spent to much time on it and it becomes tedious ! :)


Throughout all this, I am just imagining photographing one of my adventures with konrad despite our non-photogenicy because it's just too cute :) :)


au revoir. xo


P.S Need to get onto fining a onsie !
