The Diana F+ Instant was introduced by Lomography in October 2013. The plastic camera is completely black.
It comes with the Instant Back+, which allows you to take instant photos. However, a back for medium format is also included. Instant pictures can be taken either with the normal lens, the additional 55mm lens, or without the lens in pinhole mode.
A matching flash, Diana F+ Flash, is also included.
After a few minutes of development, you have the finished image in your hand. To do this, you have to insert Fujifilm’s Instax Mini Film* into the back.
A CR2 battery (eBay / Amazon*) is needed to operate the back, and an AA battery (eBay / Amazon*) goes into the Diana F+ Flash.
On the Diana F+, of course, all the accessories of the Dianas, such as the lenses, can be used. The range of functions itself is also congruent.
