Here is a pretty interesting little addition to your kit for all you lovers of low-fi images out there! If you don’t have a Diana plastic camera but you want to create those low saturation, soft surreal blurs, and unpredictable coloured images then you may be very interested in this Diana lens adapter for your Nikon and Canon DSLR.

All you need to do is attach the plastic lens and its adapter directly onto your SLR’s body. Your Canon or Nikon will be part Diana camera and park DSLR, a recipe for some pretty cool dreamy images!

The lens adapter is available from the US at photojojo.com and for $60 USD you get;

• Adds a soft and dreamy focus to your photos
• Adapter for Canon or Nikon SLRs and DSLRs
• Included adapter works with the entire line of Lomo’s Diana+ lenses
• Three distance settings (1-2m, 2-4m and Infinity)
• Includes Canon or Nikon adapter and 38mm Super-Wide Diana+ Lens

Happy Shooting!

Our friends at Lexar Australia are extremely excited about the pending launch in Oz of the new 600X Pro cards. Tested and reviewed by Rob Galbraith the new cards blitzed all competing products in the market using the Canon 7D. I’m also excited about the speed and size improvements, now that I’ve just picked up my 5D MkII and am planning to shoot some video along with my usual stills. On location every minute counts!

The new Professional range also comes with revamped version of their best selling software Image Rescue + exclusive trial versions on Adobe offers on Lightroom, Photoshop Elements, Premier Elements as well as massive discounts off the full product with online downloads. See below for more details.  Now that’s value adding!
