The Diana F+ Snowcat was introduced by Lomography in February 2009. It was made for the Diana World Tour stop in South Korea. The Snowcat was created by a South Korean artist with the same name. The black and white camera features a drawing of a cat.
The Diana F+ is a reissue of an old plastic camera from the 60s Like the normal Diana F+, the Diana F+ Snowcat also has a connection for a flash and a tripod, two exposure times and four apertures, including a pinhole and the other functions of the plastic camera.
The Diana F+ Flash is already included in the scope of delivery. The included color filters can be used to colorize the flash light as desired. For power supply one AA battery (eBay / Amazon*) is needed.
