The Diana Mini Latitude is a 35mm camera. The Latitude is a special edition of the Diana Mini from Lomography. Together with the Copernicus, Metropolis, and Voyager it was presented by Lomography in summer 2012.
The 35mm camera itself is kept in a very plain color so that the imprints in the form of a world map on the front and back are more eye-catching. It is not named after Google Latitude*, but after the English word for latitude (formerly latitude). The name of the camera is printed on the lens cap and around the lens.
In addition to the camera, the scope of delivery also includes the Diana F+ Flash in the matching color. The features of the 35mm camera are identical to the regular Diana Mini.
*Google Latitude
Google Latitude was a location-based feature of Google Maps. Latitude allowed cell phone users to allow specific people to view their current location. The service was introduced in 2009 and discontinued in 2013. Later, such a feature was integrated into the Google Maps app.
