The Diana id a great camera and a lot of fun to use. It truly brings photography back to its basics. The only issue I have is that there is a bit of a learning curve and, while it can be forgiving, having fun with the Diana’s more artistic features can lead to a lot of pictures not coming out right or not at all. This can be expensive while getting to know the Diana camera, especially if using 120 film, not to mention the development coast! With the 35mm back you can snap pictures constantly, get to know your camera more and not worry about the higher cost of film and development of 120 film. Once you’ve mastered the camera a little more you can “graduate” to 120 film and take full advantage of what this dynamic camera has to offer. Plus the 35mm back can add a few extras of it’s own. Definitely a great item to add to your Diana kit.

I was excited to receive this, as I don’t want to hack my medium format cameras in order to take sprocket hole pictures. I assembled as instructions said then loaded some 24 exp 35mm film and went out to shoot. I got to picture 16 and the take up spool stopped. I double checked to make sure I was on N setting, and that the counter was set to panoramic to match the mask I selected. Everything was fine. But the knob would not move. I wound up trashing a roll because it would not rewind either. So then I added a second roll. This time I got to 18 before it stopped. I rewound the film and put it away. When I got home I tested an old expired roll and watched it to see what was going on. The film was spooling just fine, and then just stopped at about the same place. The film release tends to slip out while it moves so this tells me there is definitely something wrong with that function or the spool itself.
Luckily I had an extra Diana F+ and 35mm back I bought as a backup, so I assembled that one and tried it as well. It did the same thing on a different camera. There are no other reviews like this out there so I don’t know if it is me, or if this product can just not handle a full roll of 35mm film on the take up spool. It seems to stick in about the same place. So if you buy, just be aware that you will probably wind up wasting about 6-8 pictures on a 24exp roll. DO NOT USE 36 exp as you will waste even more.
I have sent an email to Lomography to ask about this problem. I think the product is basically junk. But at least the camera works.
