unfortunately, I can’T visit the side with the whole set, so I still don’t know which one is which…can anyone tell me please because this way (without the result) the whole shoot-out-thing doesn’t pay off for me!
cheers!

[...] Eventually I will be doing a heads up shoot out between the Diana+ and the Holga. We’ll call that Round Two. The purpose is will not be to prove once and for all which camera is better; it’s only to serve as an objective means for comparison for someone that may be getting ready to take the plunge and invest in one of these camera’s. I plan to accomplish this by shooting 2 rolls of film from the same batch, shooting the same subject from a tri-pod. There are so many variables that exist that to do a scientific comparison under all conditions would be pretty expensive. I don’t have time to write grants for this type of research so you’ll have to just accept whatever it is I decide to shoot and at which time of day. I can promise that the shots will be taken within a couple of minutes each other for continuity. If you don’t like it do your own Diana+ Vs Holga shootout. One thing I will say is that the quality of image you get has more to do with your artistic vision and your understanding of lighting, exposure and composition. Sure happy accidents exist and some people love purely abstract photos, but ultimately someone with a better understanding of these principles will get more consistent results. The fun factor is that many toy camera users aren’t looking for consistency, they’re just having fun shooting film through a fun camera.

Nice simple comparison. The only reason I decided to try the Diana F+ was to experiment with pinhole photography since it’s so easy to remove the lens and play with the F/150 pinhole. Loading film on the Diana is precarious and film winding is very inconsistent. Really poor design.

This is a great site, i just came across a couple of Toy cameras and am purchasing a Holga. Thanks for making the Manual available.

Brilliant comparison. I’ve been searching for this. I guessed !00% correct; guess ’cause I LOVE my DianaF+ and the artistic effects, which i think are more pronounced than w/ the Holga.

interesting that the Holga seems to give the imagers more of a magenta caste. I am a Holga fan. Have thought about buying the Diana but it doesn’t seem to do anything the Holga can’t do. And the Holga is cheaper and more robust.

Jonas, thanks for reconizing my goos points They sell a 35mm back for the Diana so I would be surprised if they come out with a 35mm version like the Holga 135. The 75mm lens would be a telephoto on 135 negatives
