			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_camera">Diana camera</a> was a really cheap plastic camera that was made by the Great Wall Plastic Factory in Hong Kong in the 1960s. At the time, it was just that, a piece of junk. But over the years artists have discovered that the crummy little camera&#8217;s flaws ended up producing some really dreamy imagery.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/lomo_diana.jpg" alt="lomo diana"  title="lomo diana photo" /></p>
<p>Loaded with light leaks, and a propensity to shoot slightly out-of-focus images, the camera shoots on glorious old <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/120_film">120 roll film</a>. No megapixels or flash memory here. Just cool, artsy-fartsy photos.</p>
<p>The original Diana went out of production over 25 years ago. So to bring back the magic to a whole new generation of artists, the gurus at <a href="http://www.lomography.com/">Lomography</a> have dusted off the original camera design and are starting to manufacture Dianas all over again. They&#8217;ve added a couple of tweaks to the original, including a 4 F-stop settings and removable lens for pinhole shots, but otherwise the cameras look remarkably unchanged.</p>
<p>Set to ship this October, <a href="http://www.unicahome.com/p37758/lomo/diana-camera-by-lomo-bonnies-pick.html">Unica Home</a> is taking pre-orders now for the $50 &#8220;new&#8221; Diana camera.</p>
