Diana camera

This part was broken and missing.
Diana camera by bricolage.108.
Found this baby at the flea market (Feira da Vandoma) and bought it for 50 cents (€). It had a broken back, so i cuted some thick cardboard the same size (and shape) of the missing piece and then taped it. After a lot of rubbing and scrubbing here it is. Pretty and ready to use. [...

Congratulations! The plastic of these is ridiculously fragile... the back on my new Diana clone "Rover" was cracked too.

Sweet deal. I keep thinking that I would like to have one of these but I'm not willing to spend what people are generally asking for them these days. Until one magically finds its way to me I will dream...

Amstrad: and i want one of those little Demekin cameras, won't find those at the flea market ;)

formica: i didn't believe it myself when i saw it, more when i ask the price. The guy had no idea of what it was, and it was in pretty bad shape.

Voxphoto: Thanks, i've heard of people who seen them melt after leaving them inside the car in a hot day, that's how fragile they are ;)

Dennis: I'll give you the same advice Nicolai gave me. Look for clones on auction sites, you can pay much less for them. And some people find them "better" then the Diana.

Does anyone remember the Star Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles?"

If so, that is the way my spare bedroom looks. It's lousy with cameras stacked everywhere, as if they keep reproducing on their own.

I don't think I will be getting any more cameras for a while unless one falls out of the sky and hits me on the head. ;-)

Yeah right...
