Lake Windermere Part 3

Probably the best thing to come out of my LC-A having a little moment

(I'll be testing the new batteries this weekend, cross all your fingers and toes...)

is that it gave me some time to dedicate to my little Diana Mini.

I know I gush about my cameras a lot, but gosh I love my Diana Mini, can you believe I actually missed not using it over the last couple of months... I think I'm going to have to work to balance my cameras out a bit better.

Also, I love this little dog's face...and my parents matching coats... and that sneaky lens flare...
and that it's the weekend. Woo.

Have a good weekend!

it! the 3rd last, the cute little stone house we saw in the previous post, is blurred out by the diana lens though :/ i notice this with your diana mini, it is clear at the edges but blurry in the middle, what do you think about that? i've seen other diana mini's that don't have that, so i guess it's just random from camera to camera. ive been wanting a diana mini but that blurryness in the middle is keeping me from buying one.; 2 March 2012 at 10:38
Rhianne said...: Hmmm, good question. I haven't personally been bothered about it. I think it's something to do with the lens of the diana, creating that 'dreamy' look and also the focus, the diana mini last setting is 4m to infinity focus and combined with the cloudy f stop, I think this affects the depth of field over larger distances... I was actually more surprised that the last photo was sharp to be honest, as I expect the diana to be a little more blurry.

I don't think there is much you can do about it to be honest, you might be better with a Superheadz wide and slim as that has a fixed aperture and focus, so it's nearly always produces clear results.; 2 March 2012 at 11:20
