I picked up a Diana from Kirk a couple of months ago at a GREAT price (Thanks again!) and have the first shots back. They are pretty poor but then again that's what Diana's are all about. Next time I'll wait for a brighter day and maybe use better film ... this roll was some Lucky that I got from eBay. They can only get better  I know the camera was level ... the lab must have scanned this one crooked ... I know they were bitching and complaining about the exposures and the film when I picked them up ...     dan |

They're not that bad, but I do like the first one; the house looks creepy! It looks like the pictures are divided in half by exposure or something. What could that be from? If Diana's are anything like Holga's, then you should try colour film next. I've always gotten excellent results with 400 ISO colour film, like Fuji, and not very good results with B&W. I don't know why that would be, but that's been my experience.
Keep trying, they'll get better.
I'll be in Victoria this June visiting my mom; I'll have to check out that creepy house.

It's not that Dianas are like Holgas, It's more like Holgas are like Dianas  Glad to see you using the camera. The 1st jet one is great! Here's a color one from that camera.....  You'll love it with color. |

Is that a CF-86 Sabre? CF-104 Starfighters had already supplanted them when my dad was in the RCAF. (late '60s)
Comox area?

Hi Mike - Not sure what the plane is. The jet and a tank are in the parking lot of the legion in Sidney It was a very cold afternoon when I was out there. I'll try shooting them again when the weather warms up and I can feel my fingers. dan |

Looks like an F-86 Saber. 20 years in the American Air Force and i saw alot of every kind.. I am going to shoot the air display at Fort Campbell this week if the weather holds with the Russian plastic camera and the Praktica 66. Many planes from WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Mostly large transports for the Paratroopers. so I will shoot them from all angles and then some.
