The Diana F+ Dreamer was released in the spring of 2008. This Special Edition of the Diana F+ was sold exclusively by Urban Outfitters, just like the Daybreak, Aviator and the Nightcap. It was of course manufactured by Lomography.
This Diana clone is wrapped in a soft mint. The top camera plate is more of a cream.
The Diana clone’s capabilities, such as the plastic lens, dual shutter speeds, interchangeable back, and flash port, are of course identical to those of the regular Diana F+.
