The Diana F+ Tokyo Rising is a special edition of the Diana F+. It was presented to the public by Lomography in November 2008. The occasion for this variant of the plastic camera was the stop of the Diana World Tour in Tokyo.
A symbol of a horse, the Japanese symbol for long journeys and standing for power, luck and security, adorns the camera. The colors light blue and black dominate the design of the camera.
The Diana F+ is replica of the original of the 60s. The original was built in Hong Kong and sold worldwide.
This camera can be used to take multiple and long exposures, endless panoramas and pinhole shots and even, with additional accessories, instant pictures. Also included with the Lo-Fi camera is a mask for 16, rather than 12, frames per film.
