I've made the habit of taking Diana with me everywhere now because she is so small and fits in my purse, and I just got the last three rolls back from the lab. That's always a treat. I also got my hands on some of the new kodak Portra 400 that works pretty well in low light and I like having the latitude to run that film through when it's early morning or near twilight, even if you over expose on the sunny setting it works really well. (Since Diana is made for ISO 100). I did have one issue with a color roll that didn't seem to wind forward properly and overlapped, but I kind of liked the results. None of that is obvious here with the way i've got them grouped, but it's something that may be fun to play around with if I can control it in the future.

I got a Diana mini for Christmas this year that takes 35mm and shoots half frames, which means, after winding the film on and tossing a few frames, I get about 60 or so shots of each roll of film! YAY. It's really lightweight and it's turquoise and I've already lost the lens cap, which stops me from accidentally shooting with it on (a common complaint from other diana mini owners I guess). I started slow and I've only run 3 rolls through so far but now that I've gotten the scans back I'm sure i'll just toss it in my purse and try to shoot a few frames each day to get my analog fix alongside shooting my iphone. I also have a couple holga 120mm and a holga 35mm but I like the Diana better so far.
