Lomography.com has kicked off yet another crowdfunding campaign. They must have heard MiNT mention that the RF70 was the only manual control square format instant film camera. Because the Diana Square is just such a beast, with a lo-fi Lomo take. The camera is based on the Diana toy camera and is said to offer the same look. Kickstarter here.
Also making the rounds everywhere, by Hamish Gill of 35mmc fame, is the pixl-latr. An easy to use device to scan film using a digital camera. Simply a plate of frosted acrylic with specially positioned pegs and a snug fitting cover plate, the device can hold any single piece of 35mm, 120 format or 4x5 format film perfectly flat for ease of copying. Gets the job done and needs no software to run. Kickstarter here.
Both projects have exploded past their original fund-raising goals.
