I really like the lens on this thing. The pictures looked great, but unfortunately the mechanical part of the camera was pretty junky. The stiff shutter action makes the camera lurch right at the moment of shooting, so you're likely to get motion blur instead of what you wanted to take a picture of. The film wind would stop advancing before the end of the roll, so I ended up wasting lost of film, thinking I was done when I actually had as many as 10 half-frame shots left. Square mode spaces the shots out at 35mm intervals so you get wide empty gutters in between frames (more wasted film). And finally, the shutter stopped working. Sometimes it would fire, sometimes it wouldn't, and I could not deal with that unpredictability. I had this thing for less than a year and had to toss it. Disappointing. A new camera (even a toy one) shouldn't fail that soon.

Just one flick of the fingertip and the Diana Mini can produce amazing 35 mm square format or half-frame images! Camera Color: Retro Blue / Black
The Diana Mini has big shoes to fill being the little sister of the classic beauty Diana F+. Luckily the "Mini" was born a star in her own right. With the flick of a little switch you can move from the retro square format to the amazing Half-Frame, giving you the ability to Shoot Forever, packing 72 shots onto one 35mm film! The Diana Mini is the ultra-compact, petite version of the Diana F+ camera.
This little queen of convenience allows you to shoot square format or half-frame pictures using standard 35mm film that's 72 rectangular half-frames or 36 square images on one roll! To further enhance creative possibilities, we've thrown in Multiple Exposure and Long Exposure features, a tripod mount, and a cable release attachment a first for the Diana!
