“My life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen'

So after buying a Diana camera about a month ago now, for a trip to London, i finally have my photos back! This made me think it was probably perfect timing to do a review! About the camera itself, it looks AMAZING! The amount of people that were staring at it hanging around my neck was unbelievable, it was almost like nobody had seen a camera before! After getting used to loading a film into it, it was alot easier. However the first time, i did ruin some film, but practice makes perfect hey?! Taking the actual photo was easy! As long as you remember to wind it to the next one, which i may have forgot to do, hence my picture with two images on it! I haven't got round to using the flash yet, but my god, that makes the camera look beautiful! And the colour filters with it, i bet the make the images look good, but again, not got round to using them yet! So i collected my photos, four weeks after taking them to be developed! (Apparently getting a 120mm film developed is harder, and more expensive then you would imagine!) I have to say i'm slightly disappointed with some of the photos, but again, i think i set my standards for myself quite high! There are only 10 photos, instead of the 16, but that is probably my fault! I still have another film that is half used, that i can't wait to get developed, hopefully it'll be better! One thing i have learnt, remember to focus the lens, i didn't even realize you had to do this until my boyfriend pointed it out, thankfully, they were all in focus! Also, you have to take the photos off to the side a bit, which i have noticed now i have my photos back. All the things i wanted to be in the middle are just off to the side a bit! D'oh! As for the two photos that are exactly the same, i have no idea what happened there! I don't even remember taking the photos! Must be the ghosts again! If anyone has one of these cameras, i'd love some tips! I am also in the process of hunting down a La Sardina camera, so i have a 35mm camera too! If anyone has one for sale, who is in England, let me know! :D

P.S: I am still after 35mm films for my bag project, so can you let me know if you have any?
P.P.S: If anyone can help me with my blog layout, and pictures, i've noticed some people put writing over theres, how do you do that? HELP NEEDED! 
P.P.P.S: If anyone would be interested in buying copies of any photos, let me know, and i can find prices for prints/copies!

'Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'. That's goddamn right!'

Please help me!!! 
Just a quick post today! I'm looking at buying a film camera. You may have read that i wanted one in my wish list i posted here.(Click!) So I've found two that i love! One comes in two different options. My main worry is getting the films, and getting them printed, and how much that all costs! If anyone knows of any good prices/places to get films developed and where you can buy films let me know! These are my three options (camera option one and two are the same, they just take different films.) Also if you have any other film camera that are within a small budget, let me know! Please note, i may not be buying the certain design, and i won't be spending this much, as i'll be ebaying them!


The main reason i have found these cameras and i love them is because they look so vintage and bright! So if you have any ideas, make sure they are similar! I know that 35mm films are cheaper to buy and develop, but do 120mm photos look better? I have no idea about these much! But i would love one for my trip to London this weekend so would need to make a hasty decision if i'm going to buy one and which one!
