My Diana Mini =)

Well I've had my Diana Mini for I guess a month now...maybe. Something like that. I left in the box for a while, until it got warm enough outside for me to get out and take some pics.
Holding it in my hand was an amazing feeling. It inspired me, with the vintage look and feel of it.
It is tiny, but the way it looks and feels in your hands, you don't even think of how small it is.

At first I had some problems getting the film loaded, but after watching a few youtube videos, I already knew what was causing the problem. You have to wiggle the rewind knob, just a little to put the back on right. I might have taken one pic, so the first picture might come out weird. Because I had to take the film out, and load it back in. The best tip I can give is to take your time loading the film.
Unloading wasn't a problem at all. I just pushed in the rewind button and turned the knob. Very simple.
In one video I watched the guy said the lens cap didn't stay on very well at all. Well I guess that was just his camera. Cause mine goes on very well, and stays put. The strap is a perfect length.
So taking pictures is very easy also. It's weird to me not seeing my pictures afterwards. But it's a mystery and that makes it fun. Of course I'm hoping I have a few awesome pictures. I tried doing multiple pictures in one frame (overlapping pictures), and double exposures. There are a few good videos on youtube showing you how to do this.
I have finished a row of film, so tomorrow I'll be taking it to Walmart to get it developed.
And as soon as I get them I'll post a video of them on youtube with a link on this blog post. =)
Now that I've played around with this awesome little camera, I've decided I want a flash for it. I was going to get a new one in a different color, but I truly love the vintage look. So I'm sticking with the one I have, and looking for a flash.
Now, Lomography.com has the flash by itself for $59, that wasn't to bad. But I'm also a bargain shopper, so I decided to check ebay too.
On ebay, I found a Diana Mini (same color as mine), with a flash, in new condition, for $59.95, so I made an offer of $50, and the guy took my offer. So, instead of paying $99-$109 for a new camera with a flash, or $59 for just the flash. I paid $50, and got a new Diana Mini, with a flash. Not bad.
I'll now have two Diana Mini's in the same color, and a flash that matches both.
Once I get my new bundle, I'll do a video showing you what all that bundle comes with, and a little about the flash.
