The Diana F+ Cortina is a special edition of the Diana F+. It was introduced by Lomography in October 2015. Together with the Diana Mini Monte Rosa, it is part of the Special Winter Edition 2015.
In terms of functionality, the camera does not differ from the normal Diana F+, the difference is only in the design of the medium format camera.
The basic color of the camera is light blue. The front and back are printed with illustrations of a ski resort in vintage look.
This edition is named after Cortina, a ski resort in the Dolomites. The winter and mountain sports center hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics, and tourism has dominated the Italian town of Cortina d’Ampezzo ever since.
