Film doesn't have the same sensitivity that digital cameras do in low light. You can use the B setting for long exposures in low-light, but the camera should be mounted on a tripod, or the images will be blurry from camera shake. Using a flash unit is simpler.

This video isn't working :(

I've been watching your videos for some time Kai, I think for about a year and a half, and kept wondering how amazing it would feel to walk around with one of these around my neck. Now I just ordered my Diana+ Aviator from UO and I'm rewatching your work. Thank you so much for putting these up! Invormative and very helpful!

I just checked this video, and it seems to be working now. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi:

I'm from Spain. There is hard to find because in normal photography shops and stores is considered as obsolete material. I'm going to try to get it in second hand market.

Greetings

Did you look on the eBay Spain website? You will probably find one there.

Where could I get this flash arm? I have a SLR camera without flash shoe and this could be a good accesory

I can't remember where I got this bracket, but you can find them at most photo supply stores. Online, try freestyle photo supply or BH photo video, or Porters.

What flash and flash bracket are you using? Most are so expensive and I need a cheap one..

hello sir. i just want to know if the B setting is enough to shoot indoors or do i still need to use Flash with it?

This is a very cool and informative video! I just bought a Diana+ but I kind of regret not getting the DianaF+ with the flash, does the Diana+ take the DianaF+ if I were to buy it? My diana has the two holes at the top of the camera but I hear mixed thoughts about it from everyone

Thanks so much, your videos have really helped me out :)

Yes, I think the problem is that my computer loads every video in HQ so this one in particular wouldn't load.
