What I like about the Diana Instant Square is that it takes one great camera, another great camera, and then slams them both together for an even greater camera.

Super straight-forward zone-focusing so you can choose between 1–2 m, 2–4 m and 4 m–infinity with a simple twist.
She’s unpredictable, and so are you! Imperfections aren’t faults – they’re little sparks of beauty, each one captivating in its individuality. Embrace the chaos, inside and out.
Normal and Bulb shooting modes for both quick snaps and endless long exposures.
Pinhole princess – just remove the lens and snap dreamy, soft images that kick it back to the early days of photography.
Mirror mirror on the wall. Thanks to its tiny mirror above the lens, the Diana Instant Square Camera will ensure your selfies are the fairest of them all.
Five extra special lens attachments for unlimited experimentation. That’s a 110 mm telephoto lens, 75 mm lens, 20 mm fisheye lens, 55 mm wide-angle and 38 mm super-wide-angle lens. The 55 mm lens even comes with a special attachment to turn it into a glorious close-up lens!
Standard filter thread for unlimited compatibility with tons more accessories including the Lomo’Instant Square portrait and wide-angle lens attachments and neutral density, color and star filters.
Detachable optimized viewfinders for each of the specialty lenses so that you can always see exactly what’s in your frame.
Colored gel filters for color splash effects across your frames. Just slip a gel (or two!) in front of the flash and render the rainbow.
The images have a heavy vignette and are fun, quirky and refreshing in our digital age.

The Diana Instant Square Deluxe Kit electrifies your life with lo-fi love, opening up a whole world of creativity and freedom.
A Cult Classic
It was the early 1960s. Mini skirts were swinging into fashion, and Beatlemania was taking the world by storm. In a small manufactory in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, engineers were knocking together a little camera that would change the face of photography forever.
The Diana camera was the very definition of lo-fi. It had a plastic lens that produced brilliantly blurry edges and super-soft vignetting, and flimsy housing that led to light leaks and watermarks. Each shot was unpredictable, drenched in gorgeous analogue imperfections. Its unique beauty catapulted it to stardom, with professional photographer Mark Sink using it to snap Jean-Michel Basquiat, Grace Jones and even the inimitable Andy Warhol.
You know what they say, though – nothing lasts forever – and in the late 1970s the production of the Diana slowed and eventually ceased. Nonetheless, the unlikely charm of this 1960s lo-fi beauty lived on. When we got our hands on one back in the early 2000s, we couldn’t believe our luck. Blown away by the mesmerizing images it produced, we got to work on a brand new version. In 2007, we added the Diana F+ to our ever-expanding collection of creative cameras.
We kept the strong, saturated colors and soft, moody vignetting that had us head over heels for the original, and added a touch of Lomographic love – Bulb Mode for long exposures, Multiple Exposure Mode for lush, layered effects, pinhole functionality for lens-free experiments. Now, this unmatchable aesthetic can be archived across 35 mm, 120, 110 and instant photography.
