The Diana F+ Honeycomb is a special edition medium format camera from Lomography. It was presented to the public on May 23, 2014.
The plastic camera, which is identical to the Diana F+ in terms of functions, is inspired by the theme of honey and bees. It is decorated in beige and white and partly printed with the pattern of a honeycomb. An illustration of a bee is on the back and the wheel for transporting the roll film.
The Diana F+ Honeycomb comes with the Diana F+ Flash in white. An AA battery (eBay / Amazon*) provides the needed juice for the flash. The camera itself does not require any power.
