Ken,
I actually have one of those Diana+ cameras with the pinhole that I got from
someone online foe $20 last year and I haven't used it yet! I got it because
I like to original Diana cameras from the 60's (I have two old ones, but one
is broken) and because my girlfriend wanted to play with the Diana camera
and I was going to let her use the new version. She hasn't had a chance to
use it yet either. Maybe we should get it out and try it. I have shot some
nice pinhole stuff on my Mamiya 645 with a pinhole body cap.
