Hi Guys and Girls, Finally got my hands on a lubi 166U. Well, not quite. I've bought it, but am waiting for it to be shipped from Russia to me in Australia. US...
Sweet! Well I hope to get out and try mine tomorrow as I have friday off... Dave www.japanish.org ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Find...
Can anyone help me with an aspect of use causing me issues in the studio... When shooting portraits with studio flash, the modelling lights are not bright...
Get a Lubitel 166 with the automatic counter. They cost about the same as the 166U or 166B lately. They come in all styles Cyrillic/English, but the most ...
This is a reality which has to be accepted when using a roll=film camera which uses a ruby window for frame advancing in the studio. The only remedy is to...
Hi there, Any recommendations as to what speed film to use in my 166U? I have no lightmetre, so will be using the "Sunny 16" rule. I don't actually have the...
Ah, one other thing: Does anyone ever have problems with light reflecting off the inside of the body, and onto the film? Or any similar problems? I have heard...
Well if you are using the sunny 16 rule, you will need to set the speed as close to the ISO of the film. I might be wrong but I think this is the rule. Dave ...
The cheapest and easiest to get film is ISO 100. I've used it. For sunny 16 set the shutter to 125, that's close enough. That's a good speed for handheld ...
Thanks Joseph, I noticed that in the photos, some of them had some vignetting in the corners (...Where else would it be, I wonder...). is this just as a result...
ISO 100 or 400 should work fine. The Lubitel can handle ISO 400 even in bright sunlight (1/250 @ f/22), though admitedly, this would limit the ability to use...
This is a phenomenon the Lubitel shares with the Smena, the Kiev 88 and other cameras whose internal baffles are finished with shiny paint. The T-43 lens on...
Rowan, I'm no expert. I've never taken a photo class, and I've only been shooting for little over a year. The Lubi 2 was my first "real" camera. When I talk...
Hi there - I've just bought a Lubitel 166B and it didn't come with a manual - I'm glad that the Lubitel group has one though!! I think it's a transcription of...
I think all this means is that you take the film spool and make it the new take-up spool. That last part seems to be intructing you to turn the wind knob...
... Dave This means that after the exposed roll is taken out of the camera, the remaining spool, which used to hold the film, has to be transferred into the...
Hi guys, Ive just got hold of a lubitel 166 universal and wish to take some night shots. Anyone know where i can get a cable release for it? Will a modern ...
I suppose you know already that that hasn't been made for several years. Your best bet is to go on ebay. However, if you are looking for a good 25 speed film ...
Hi there, My Lubi 166U has finally arrived from the Ukraine (Wrapped in brown paper, tied up with string, and with russian looking writing on it - very...
All Lubitel (except the "1") synchronise by the PC port on the shutter, so a cord is needed. The shoe is 'cold'. With some flash, you may have to put some...
To test if the two lenses are in synch (BTW, they are not exact twins as they should be in TLR, but then again, the Lubitel isn't really a TLR), focus the...
There is a model, the 166, that has a hot shoe. This is mostly seen as the "Olympic" version, but there are some plain 166es out there. It also has an...
Has your friend been able to get that Lubitel working again? I have totally stripped Lubitels and have found them one of the easiest cameras to repair, ...
