The Diana Baby 110 is a pocket film camera. It was introduced in August 2012 as the second camera after the reintroduction of pocket film by Lomography. It is one of the few new cameras for the pocket film format, after the discontinuation of the film format.
As you can infer from the name, the model of the camera is the Diana F+. Not only does the design resemble the medium format plastic camera, it also has most of the features of its big sister.
Thus, the little snapper also takes square pictures. The Diana Baby exposes a 13 x 13 mm square area per image. It also has a bulb mode, so the shutter is open as long as the shutter button is pressed.
The Baby’s lens is interchangeable. There are two lenses for the Diana Baby 110, 24 and 12 mm. Both lenses have a fixed aperture of f/8.
The 12 mm lens can be used to take wide angle shots, the 24 mm is a standard focal length. The focus of both lenses cannot be changed.
The normal exposure time is 1/100 s. The exposure time can be changed using a switch on the bottom. Multiple exposures can be created by pressing the shutter release several times, just like with its big sister.
Like the Diana F+, a flash can also be connected to the Baby 110, which has a PC flash connection for this purpose. A flash with a hot shoe can only be used with an adapter cable.
The Diana Baby also has a built-in viewfinder. It does not have a tripod connection or an exposure meter. However, it does not need batteries.
The scope of delivery includes the camera, the 24 mm lens, the film back, a manual and the lens cap.
The 12 mm lens is only available in a more expensive package.
