The Diana F+ Black Jack is a medium format camera. This special edition of the Diana F+ was introduced by Lomography in November 2008. This Special Edition is an online exclusive edition.

As the name suggests, the design of the Diana F+ Black Jack consists mainly of black. It reminds a bit of the Holga 120 and Diana Scarecrow. Of course, it is named after the famous card game. On the rewind button is the spade symbol from the deck of cards.

Of course, this special edition plastic camera also has the normal features of the Diana F+.

In the cardboard box are a besides the camera also a book, adapters for other flashes, mask for the different image formats, the Diana F+ Flash and color filters.

With the Lo-Fi camera, pinhole shots and panoramas are also possible, this is possible with the panorama mask. The panorama mask has to be fixed in the camera before inserting the film. The camera is actually designed for normal roll film.

35mm film can also be used with some tinkering or with the 35mm back. There is also a back for shooting on Fuji Instax film from Lomography for the Black Jack, regular Diana and the other clones.

The design of the flash is precisely matched to the retro design of the camera, so it fits seamlessly into the overall look of the camera. Additionally, you can get creative with the included color filters and dip the flash into different colors. The filters are easy to install and can be quickly swapped out to adjust the light to the scene at hand. This allows you to create unique and interesting effects at any time.
