Lomography Diana Baby - 110 Film Camera

OK, it's a LOMO...but compared to the single use cameras and the lovely APPARAT, it leaves something to be desired in terms of its build-quality. In order to load a film the "STORAGE BACK" has to be removed and replaced with the "FILM TRANSPORTATION BACK" This is a fiddly operation and I would suggest leaving the FTB in place once its fitted unless you want the thing to look like a miniature camera when not in use. The FTB must be aligned VERY precisely with the camera body. Don't bother to try sliding the catch to allow the delicate fixing lugs to seat properly - just carefully push the FTB into place. Lens changing is VERY difficult and the manual is incorrect in its explanation - turn the the lens ANTI-CLOCKWISE TO RELASE - NOT CLOCKWISE!! That's assuming you can get the lens to turn at all. My 24mm lens already bears the marks of plier jaws and there's a web reference to a guy using a pipe wrench! Assuming you can release the lens (and you have a film loaded) take care not to trip the shutter with your fingers as you rotate the lens. There are numerous references on the web to the difficulty with lens changing. On the base of the FTB you'll see something not mentioned in the manual. It's what looks like a shutter release socket - it isn't - it's the fixing point for LOMO's reasonably priced flash bracket for use with their extortionately priced flash gun. Fortunately, the flash bracket allows the use of standard guns (with a sync cable)

I recently bought this camera and have loved using it, i was looking around for a 110 camera and am happy i chose this one
