The Diana F+ MoMA is a medium format plastic camera. This special limited edition Diana F+ was made by Lomography for the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It was sold in design stores of the museums. The black and red plastic camera is accompanied by a flash in the matching color.
Like the normal Diana F+, the Diana F+ MoMA also has a connection for a flash and a tripod, two exposure times and four apertures, one of which is a pinhole. Normally, you need normal medium format film for the camera made of plastic. Whether this is redscale, slide, color or black and white film is irrelevant. A sensitivity of ISO 400 is advantageous in bad weather and low light conditions.
