Whoa! I just won a free camera! →[More:] I re-subscribed to Light Leaks magazine last month, because I'd been meaning to, and because they were having a drawing for new subscribers to win one of several vintage and/or toy cameras.

And damn if I didn't just get an email telling me I won a Diana+ camera! A Diana+ is a recently-issued replica of the old plastic Diana cameras sold in Hong Kong, in the 1960s and early 1970s. I have one of those, so it'll be fun to compare the old camera to it's newer descendant.

I probably never would have bought a Diana+, because, eh, I have about twenty vintage and plastic cameras already littering my house, but I have to admit now that I'm getting one, I'm PSYCHED to try it out. :)

That rules! I love my Holga, and a Diana would be equally awesome.

You're the kind of guy I'd want to win a contest like that. You're obviously passionate about it and you'll actually have a practical/fun use for it. Congrats on your prize.
