Here is a little experiment to follow! Very Happy

I own quite a bit of lomography gear (sorry haters Razz ) including the complete outfit for a Diana F+. I was taking the lot out to shoot some 120 film with it when I noticed I also have a Diana - Nikon adapter. So I was thinking about sticking this adapter on a Nikon - Nex adapter and try to shoot digital with it. I know these lenses will behave completely different i.e. the fisheye lens won't be much of a fisheye etc.
The aparture is in the camera itself so only 'wide open' shooting will be possible and these lenses do not have a proper focus ring either, they have a scale for 3 or 4 distance settings.

This will be challenging, stay tuned for some results, hoping for something worth showing though I am not expecting much Wink

The collection (first image has the lenses/assessories written on it):

Should be a really interesting experiment! I used the lensbaby stuff on the NEX via an A Mount adapter and have stacked adapters for other things as well. I also just got an adapter for Pentax 110 lenses and they get very acceptable frame coverage on the NEX. What kind of mount is on the Diana lenses? The full kit isn't too expensive, if they produce pleasing results may try to replicate.
