Andy, The Diana camera was cheap plastic camera that took 16 pictures on 120 roll film. The pictures were nice and little soft but the last incarnation of the box camera without being a box. It's out of production. One hundred dollars seens overly high for nostalgia. I wish I still had

The 120 fiilm is a roll film that is 2 1/4 in wide when used in a Twin Lens Reflex it usually made 12 2 1/4 in pictures on a roll . This film is paperbacked the length of the entire roll. It could also make 16 pictures on a roll. The exact size I do not recall but smaller that 2 1/4 in square.

Take another piece of half inch plywood the same size as the camera bottom and drill a hole large enough for the 1/4-20 nut to fill it. Nail or screw the new piece of plywood to the camera bottom then epoxy the nut in the hole. The result should be more than sufficient for your camera. James

Stom, Polaroid P/N Type 55 film is the type that you must expose for either the negative or the print. It is an either or proposition. The Polaroid P/N pack film (the number of which I can't remember) is not an either or proposition. The print and negative will match. James Johnston
