Amusing to see recent Sunday supplements (20 September, Sunday Times 'Style'; 10 October, Independent Magazine) apeing the style of vivid colours, haphazard exposure, multiple exposure and all the qualities of a plastic lens in a leaky plastic camera body. Looks like film is fighting back.

I'd love to see these kind of cameras going digital.. same lense, body, and everything..
but with a decent post-processing built-in :]

I love them and I want one. Even the name doesn't bother me! Retro is in and film is back with a vengeance! Can't wait to get my hands on one and play with some lenses and films!

Good to see the plastic camera movement is still expanding, especially with such cool new ones like the Holga Stereo 3-D camera, not to mention the Diana Mini 1/2 format camera, or the Blackbird Fly TLR. BTW, here's a really cool version of the Blackbird Fly, as profiled on the SciFi Japan web site:

You can get that one in the US, Japan & SE Asia.

This is not a proper example (photo) to illustrate Lomo/Diana photographic possibilities.

@ WilhelmR - Nooooo- not digital. What's the point of making a digital version? Defeats the point. These were meant to be dead cheap plastic pieces of rubbish with their own charms. Diana cameras have a history! You would never get the same effect digitally and it would be soulless and take away the excitement of getting your set of prints back.

And as with Marija- I agree. There is much better work out there.

The Blackbirds are cool, I have one, and I have one of these- but I have to say this camera yields better results than the Blackbird which is a bit hard to use.

Analoge forever !

Lomo is the way! I just hope that Polaroid is the next 'darling' of photography and gets to come back. I've one shot left in my Polaroid 600 then its all over... *sniff*
