What type of film do I use for a Diana+?

Question

I just recieved the DianaF+ for my birthday and was wondering what type of film is necessary and if there are any alternative films. I'd rather not have to buy online, so are there any stores that carry the film, i live in the socal (la/oc area). thanks

Answer 3

Follow kaiy2k's advice about how to modify the camera to use 35mm film.

However, 35mm really doesn't do it justice (albeit fun).

The Diana is built for 120 film. Easy to find and relatively cheap at http://www.freestylephoto.biz/e_main.php .

http://www.freestylephoto.biz/sc_prod.ph... and the like, b&w will cost you a bit more, but they give a very good price nevertheless.

Most labs will still process 120 film.
