When Lomography sent us the Diana Mini to review we didn’t want to just produce another standard review from one Holgablog writer, we wanted to build on one of the key strengths of the Mini: the portability, and decided to couple that with one of the strengths of Holgablog : the breadth of writers we have from across the globe.
To add to the Instax party, Lomography.com have launched an Instax Back for the LC-A+ (and the original LC-A). Those of you with the similar Diana+ back will know how refreshing a change of film can be, and – goshdarnit – just how cute the Instax results are.
The time has come to put these two plastic cameras both side by side and to do the review I was once looking for myself, but never found on the net. I will try to be technical and I will comment on flaws or features that I have noted in my personal experience.
