The Diana F+ Zebra is a special edition of the Diana F+ from Lomography. This variant of the plastic camera was introduced at the end of January 2012 together with the Diana Mini Leopard and the Fisheye No. 2 Python. The occasion was Valentine’s Day 2012.
The design, as the name suggests, is inspired by the animal with the characteristic stripes. The Diana F+ Zebra is dipped in a turquoise to green and partially decorated with a zebra pattern. On the lid for the lens there is a relief of an eye of a zebra. The rewind wheel is decorated with a galloping zebra.
Included with the camera is a flash, the normal Diana F+ Flash, in the matching color.
In terms of functions, such as the bulb mode, flash connection, aperture, exposure times, etc., the Diana F+ Zebra is identical to the normal Diana F+. The connection for the additionally available 35mm and instant film back is also present. Of course, the lens is also interchangeable. A thread for a tripod is also built into the Lomography camera.
