The beauty of the SLR Adaptors is that they open up the whole series of Canon EOS and Nikon F cameras to the world Diana effects. This means whether yours is one of the earliest Nikon Fs from the late 1950s or an ultra-swanky Canon digital SLR – you can join in with the whole Diana experience!
Adjust the View
Lomography DianaF+ Lenses can do a whole lot of fantastic things but they won’t overrule physics. Your film or sensor format sets the boarders to the lenses field of view…
The field of view you get from a lens depends on its focal length and the format the film/camera sensor has. If you use your Diana F+ Lenses with the adaptors you’ll propably use them on a 35mm Camera instead of a medium format snapshooter as the Diana is one, and yet the film size has changed – which results in a cropped exposure.
…example for crop effect of a Lomography Diana F+ 20mm Fisheye Lens on different Film formats.
The bigger the film format or camera sensor, the bigger the picture angle will be – which on the other hand means the smaller your film or sensor the smaller the angle of the field view caught on film will be. That’s why you don’t get a full fisheye effect when using the Diana F+ fisheye lens on a 35mm SLR camera. For digital SLRs with a non full-size APS-C sensor the crop-factor is even bigger than for 35mm film. To get an idea of what each lens will do on a 35mm and APS-C sensor camera we did some math for you.
Even if the focal length of a lens won’t change – used on different film formats the effects can differ – the focal length numbers given for 35mm and APS-C sensors describe the focal length of our Diana F+ lenses equivalent to 35 mm and digital APS-C sensor SLRs.
Lomography DianaF+ 38mm Super Wide Lens on a 35 mm is equivalent to a 72mm standard lens. Used on an APS-C sensor DSLR it has the effect of a 115mm telephoto lens!
Lomography DianaF+ 20mm Fisheye Lens used on 35mm cameras has the effect of a 38mm Wide Angle Lens. On an APS-C sensor it’s equivalent to a 60mm lens.
Lomography DianaF+ 55mm Close-up & Wide-angle Lens is equivalent to a 105mm telephoto – lens when attached to your 35mm camera. Mounted on an APS-C DSLR you get an amazing 170mm super – telephoto effect.
The DianaF+ 110 mm Telephoto Lens in combination with any 35mm camera will act like a 200mm super telephoto lens. With an APS-C the Lomography Diana F+ Telephoto Lens is equivalent to a 320mm super – duper – telephoto lens!
Note: The focal length of a lens won’t change if you use different film formats but the film format determines which part of the image is on film! What happens can be compared to what’s known as crop factor – when you are using a 35mm SLR lens on a digital SLR camera with APS-C or similar sized sensors.
