how does it compare to the lensbaby?<br>

<p>What do you mean? A Diana F+ is a plastic 6x6 camera, like a Holga but blue. Is there an adapter to use its lenses on a Nikon or something? If so they'd be inexpensive and have a cheap-lens "look" but wouldn't serve the same purpose as a Lensbaby lens, which moves with a few degrees of freedom to get interesting focus effects.</p>

<p>yes there is an adaptor and I am curious to know if anybody has used these plastic lenses on a nikon fx.</p>

<p>The Nikon rumor site has a little blurb about them, and some do some focal length conversions I don't understant. I'm not sure i would try them unless they were very cheap.</p>

<p>I have been debating one for my Canon crop sensor, but the fact that what i love most about Holgas and Dianas are the corners which are cropped out on dslrs, it seems kind of pointless. what you are getting on the "film" is the sweet spot in the middle. The lensbaby is made for the smaller sensors, so it gives you way better edge effects. I will probably pick one up eventually, but i don't think it is a substitute for a lensbaby. </p>
