I have officially been bitten by the Lomo bug! I ordered my first lomo camera a few days ago (a Diana F+). Then just yesterday I ordered a Lomo Fisheye Camera! I am so excited! I can't wait for them to come!
It's pretty funny though, just today Lomo released a pink Diana F+!!! I love pink! I own so many pink things! I have a pink digital camera, a pink Nintendo DS, a pink Sony PSP, a pink cell phone, even the Lomo Fisheye camera I bought yesterday is pink! Now they have a pink Diana!!! I want it soooo bad! But I just bought a Diana!
However, the Diana I just bought does glow in the dark. And while I do own a couple of pink cameras (and I plan to buy a pink Holga in the near future) I don't have any glow in the dark cameras. So I am glad that I did buy the glow in the dark version, since I do want that camera equally as much as the pink one.
I probably will end up buying the pink version as well. Even though I'm probably totally crazy to want two models of the same camera just in different colors. But I can't help it! I love them both!
Are you into lomography? What lomo cameras do you have or want?
Does the color of a camera matter to you, or do you not care?

I want the Diana "Dreamer" [see photo]. I had the orange Lomography Fisheye camera, but recently sold it on eBay because I just have too much trouble with film. I never end up getting it developed so I bought a fisheye converter lens for my XTi instead. I really want to try the Diana, but I don't want to get tired of that too or have to buy the 35mm conversion kit also. I can't wait to see some of your Diana photos!

I can't wait to see them too! Haha! I finished off my first roll, I just haven't gotten it developed yet! I have the 35mm back (which I got off eBay for like $40 less than what Lomo charges!) so my first roll is on 35mm film. It's easier to get developed than 120, plus I have boxes and boxes and boxes of 35mm film already and I'd have to go out and buy 120 film. But the main reason I shot my first roll on 35mm is because I'm including the sprocket holes in the film! Meaning the photo is exposed around the sprocket holes! It's such a neat effect! I can't wait to see how my photos come out!

So long as the camera takes the photos I'm after then I'm great ;) color isn't that big of a make or break deal for me. Perhaps when I get to 'know' the cameras better possilbe. Now this Lomo bug.. I'm gonna have to check it out because I'll be honest i have no bloody clue what it is. lol
