About buying a lomography camera ?..Help please….?

Hi guys, i intend to buy a lomo camera , i think i wiil buy Diana + with a Splitzer , a starter kit , 20mm lens . I am kind of a newbie to lomography. Can u please tell me what a starter kit means , is that some kind of a guide book. And is that diana better than holga or the other way round.
Which one is more suitable and more cheaper for a diana camera among 35 MM and 120 ?
Does that true that using 35MM film when i print my picture it will be smaller than using 120 film.?
I want my picture look something like that

The incredible colors from your sample link is from the color shift of cross-processing (xpro). This is done by shooting slide film and processing like it was a negative film. To cross process your film, you must find a lab that is willing to run your slide film through their color negative chemistry. Many are unwilling, since they worry that the mix will ruin their chemistry.

Your plans for getting the DIana with many accessories might be a little over-ambitious, if you are new to film.

I usually like to recommend the Holga 120N or 120FN for beginners.
Why? It’s a cheaper and simpler camera to learn with. If you get this camera it keeps the cost of exploring toy camera photography on the cheap side. If it turns out that toy camera photography is your passion, then you can explore getting the Diana+ with accessories.

Let’s look at the cost:
Holga 120N – $28 (no flash, but with a hotshoe)
Holga 120FN – $38 (built-in flash)

Diana+ – $50 (no flash, no hotshoe)
DianaF+ – $100 (comes with electronic flash attachment and hotshoe accessory)

120 film is a little more difficult to deal with, since there are fewer labs that can process it. Ask around at your local Walmart, Costco or other 1-hour labs. While they may not be able to process the film on site, many of these labs will send the film out to be processed for you.

The next option is to find a local pro-lab. These are labs that specifically cater to professional photographers and will be able to process your film on site. As you might imagine, it can be a little pricey.

Another film processing option is to send out the film to be processed. Dwaynes photo is a good place to go:

Then the best of all option, process the film yourself. BW film processing and even color processing are not too difficult to learn and also not very expensive to get into.

If you think that 120 film is too much trouble, you can try a 35mm camera, like the Holga 135BC. While I find that something gets lost in the smaller negative and rectangular format, it might work for you.

The Holga 120N or 120CFN (120 format) or the 35mm Holga 135BC can be found at Freestyle Photo supply:

The Diana+ cameras can be found at some stores like Urban Outfitters, or online at http://lomography.com

Whichever camera you choose, remember that the point of lo-fi photography is to have fun and don’t sweat the details!
