I have a Retinette 1A, and considerably it is the same as the 1B, only without the meter. Indeed it has two windows at the front of the top plate, one for the...

That grayish plastic blind does have the frame outline on it, so it does do something. But I agree, I think that the top plate comes from a Retina just to...

The camera has the "cold shoe", meaning, it has no electrical contacts to engage with the flash circuitry. Leave the aluminium plate in place- it needs to be...

Hi! I don't have a Lubitel, but I think it's an interesting camera. How reliable is it, though? Kiev cameras, for example (now I have one), are wonderful...

Hi Jonny, I have a Lubitel 2 and a Kiev 60 and would rate the reliability of the Lubi over the Kiev. Why? There are far less parts in this camera, so less can...
