Lens Assemblies
The Diana camera costs even less than a Holga. Which is good because the lens is all we are after.
The shutter, including the apertures, are not part of this project. Just the plastic lens.
The 75mm Diana covers more than the 60mm Holga.
Might just be a small aspherical piece of plastic, but it will get the job done.
Turning the little black ring around the lens changes focal distance.
To remove the lens assembly from the Diana simply pry along the red line.
Do not try to keep the shutter or aperture mechanisms they will cause vignetting.
Pull it off and toss the camera aside.
Grab the Holga lens and shutter assembly you put aside.
