wonderful, i favor the holga over the diana, though

Diana's are cool, but I'd take my Holga over that thing any day. I can do more mods to it, modify it to get diana effects, and above all-it's cheaper. As an art student I just like the experimentation that the holga kinda forces he user to do.

yeah but 120 film is just harder to devolp for most people, i mean i agree, but sometimes if i am going to a festival or something i just take 35mm, just easyer

Ask for expired film... you'll get unpredictable results, but it's very fun. I'm using cheap film expired from 1997, but it's giving perfect pics. And don't fuss... point and shoot. It's not a hasselblad, it's a cheap (well, not really...) camera.

Don't get the one from eBay... total waste of money. make it out of black construction paper, innovation, and tape. But... the magic of Diana is lost in 35mm in my opinion... stick to 120 film.

I actually picked up film for it, finally JUST yesterday. I've only taken one shot though, it's so hard remembering the proper settings that you've gotta have for the setting(daylight/indoor).

You can buy 120 film on ebay, amazon, and other online sources. I think Wolfe Camera has it too. (I use expired film... sometimes it does good, sometimes bad.) You can send it out at Walgreens, Walmart, or anyplace that has send out service (Kodak or Fujifilm.) But they don't scan... I had to find a lab, so you're on your own in that respect...
