something is wrong with the la sardina flash. i just bought a brand new one but the flash doesn't fire off. even the guys at the store can't figure it out. i am now waiting for news from the repair centre. good news or bad news, yet to know. hate it when the merchandise is faulty.
@cherryblossom123ism I have the exact same problem I purchased the Czar edition and I tried everything the flash light would appear green and when taking snaps it would fire, I have no clue what to do, can you please keep up dated as soon as they reply to you, thanks a lot
hello! i dont know if i should get diana f+ or la sardina... can you shoot the flash manually on this one? i mean for crazy night portraits, let some light painting on B mode and fire the flash for some faces on the same picture?
@SweBass if you're talking about long exposure with flash, yep, both are capable of doing that. the main difference between the 2 is the film type they use. I guess that's the main thing you should consider. :)
@lollollollul that happened to me before.. but then I had it checked with the store where I bought it, and it turned out, I never turned the lens until I heard the "loud click" sound. make sure u hear the loud click sound.
@lostinhorizon still not working. how do you turned the lens on? See, I don't have any lomography shop near by and I bought this in another country... Help?
my flash doesnt work as well.... :(

@cherryblossom123ism No!!! I have the same problem but the guys in the store told me that i have to eemmm... In spanish:
"Girar el lente, sacarlo y volver a girarlo hasta escuchar un click"
That was all. And make sure that the back is really closed.
Sorry my bad english :(

How do you rate the la sardina overall? I'm thinking of getting my first toy camera but I'm doing some research first. Suggestions?
