Lomography Diana F+ and Diana+ Shutter Release Cable Adapter
Lomography Diana F+ and Diana+ 120 Shutter Release Cable Adapter. Please note the cable required is shown but not included. Works with cables such as this one. Camera shown is not included.
Designed by me from scratch to fit the Diana F+ 120 camera. It allows you to use a shutter release cable for beautiful long exposure pictures.
This uses a linear threaded nut to hold the shutter release cable so it is best not to screw the cable in too tight unless you don’t plan on removing it again.
Directions for use
To use:
- Set the exposure switch to B.
- Move the aperture switch fully anti-clockwise.
- Push the upper section onto the lens body.
- Rotate the upper section clockwise so that you can attach the lower section (Photo 5).
- Attach the lower section by firmly pressing both pieces together (Photo 6).
- Rotate the assembled adapter anti-clockwise so that the shutter lever rests on the shutter button as shown (Photo 7).
- Push the assembled adapter back towards the camera body for a snug fit (Photo 8).
- Screw release cable into the adapter as shown.
- Set the Aperture switch to the desired setting.
- After use set the exposure switch back to N again.
Note if you use this be careful if handling the camera whilst the shutter is open or you may spoil your photos by disturbing the adapter!
To remove:
- Remove the release cable from the adapter.
- Move the aperture switch fully anti-clockwise.
- Gently pull the adapter forwards away from the camera body to loosen.
- Rotate the adapter clockwise so you can separate the upper and lower pieces of the adapter without the aperture switch in the way.
- Gently push both pieces apart and remove.
Note the upper and lower pieces of the adapter are purposefully snug so firmly press the lower half towards you and the upper half away from you on each side close to the lugs.

Reviews
Note, these reviews are of the previous version which used an extra clip. The latest version has made this obsolete.
The release arrived safely, was a doddle to put together and although I’ve not yet used it to take photos I have fitted it to the camera and it fits perfectly! Over my many years in photography I’ve seen a number of brackets made to attach cable releases to cameras but this is without a doubt the best!

This adapter fits and works brilliantly and with absolutely no effort to install. The tripod retaining clip is also a super idea! I use the ‘glass’ lens on my Diana F+ and the adapter did not in any way interfere with the usage of the camera and that lens. It is as good as the original Diana F+ shutter release, which is now a very hard-to-find accessory.
