The Diana Mini is a plastic camera from Lomography styled to resemble the Diana, but shrunken in size. As a camera designed for 35mm film, it provides an automatic frame counter (rather than the red window of the original); and it discreetly hides a rewind crank on the bottom of the camera. The Mini has a selector to switch from 24×24mm square format to 17×24mm (half-frame) images.

The Mini has sockets on the top of the camera which can accept the same flash used with the Diana F+ or via an adaptor any hotshoe flash. The camera has been designed so that there is no lock to prevent multiple exposures.

Lomography specifications indicate the camera has a 1/60sec shutter setting on N. Others have suggested it is nearer 1/100sec.
