The accessories that come with the Deluxe Kit.

The Diana Flash. Its form is inspired by the original 1960s bulb flash. For a simple electronic flash with a low guide number it's quite expensive, but handy because it matches the cameras style and its unusual flash socket. It is much cheaper in a bundle with the camera.

Flash attached.

The flash can be bought with useful accessories: a Diana socket that can attach the Diana flash to any camera with a hot shoe and socket that matches the Diana socket and gives you a hot shoe so that you can attach any hot shoe flash to your Diana. Takes one AA battery. Flash guide number only ~15 (m/ISO 100).

Rear view. Control light on. Distance indicator on the housing. As the lowest F-stop is F8, with a guide number of 15 you can only shoot as far as 2m on 100 ISO film.

The movement of the cable pushes the arm that trips the shutter release.

The 4 masks are clearly marked. A panoramic format 24x48, a panoramic format 33x48 that also exposes the sprocket area, the standard format 24x36 and a sqare format 33x34 that also exposes the sprocket area.

Before you can attach the back, you have to get the roll pegs off the body. The easiest way is to push the left one of the notches from the inside and then unhook the rest.

The back attached. The lever near the top sets the counter according to te format mask (panoramic or standard). Do not forget this. There is a film type window and a reminder for the format masks.

I made tests on 35mm film with all the lenses. Please refer to the lens page. This is the result with the 75mm standard lens:

75mm standard on 35mm film, F8, 1/60s, good sharpness.

Even image quarters are possible or lesser parts if you want.
The Diana system lets you play with a lot of photographic possibilities. Just let your imagination run free, the basic features are there.
