Back to basics
I'm quite happy pottering around with my Canon 400D, I'd like a 550D at some point when the funds allow as its a massive step up from mine, but for the time being I'll make do. With ever advancing technology in digital photography its nice to go back to the simple life which is what I've done courtesy of a birthday present from Kim & Lily. A DianaF+, its an uber budget medium format camera. A replica of the plastic bodied cameras of the 1960s. The pictures are characterised by the slightly out of focus, vivid colours and dark borders. All of which are due to the very basic design and poor fit of the parts. Its meant as a toy camera and is popular with art students but I've fancied one for ages and its a chance to enjoy just snapping and then waiting for Boots to see what develops. I fully expect to get a lot of rubbish but who knows where it will lead. I am cheating a bit and running a 35mm conversion backplate as the 120 film it runs can be tricky to find and develop.
