The Diana F+ Buttercup is a clone of the Diana F+ from Lomography. It was introduced by Lomography in November 2011 together with Fisheye No. 2 Vibrant Orange, Diana Mini Twilight Blue, Diana Mini Fern Green, Diana F+ True Blue and Fisheye No. 2 Lime Punch and is part of the Monochrome Edition.
It is named after the buttercup and this is reflected in the design. The camera is all dipped in bright yellow. The included flash and adapters for using hot shoe flashes, on the other hand, are lush green.
The functions of the Diana F+ Buttercup are of course identical to the normal Diana F+. Medium format film is required for use without an additional back.
