As much as I despise housecleaning, I was trying to clear a space in my parents' basement today and I found a Diana camera in its box with instructions. It looks to be intact, maybe I'll put a film through it.
Moderator! Close down this thread!
There is no room for such crazy, radical talk on APUG. If you want a Diana, push the trash on your keyboard aside and go to Ebay.
And when you're done finding John's rear element (hmmm, don't read that too closely without viewing the rest of the thread), you could visit me and help me find the 4 adapters I've misplaced that would let me put 3x4 film in my 9x12 plate holders. I've got film sheaths, I've got film, and I've got plate holders -- and now I can't spot the adapters...
