Roland, I just bought an Iskra, I have a couple of questions for you. I just received it, and I've overpaid for it. The seller, spront, guaranteed it would...
Hi Joseph, Thanks for the post. Sorry - I've only just found it. I've not been as up to date with emails/posts as I would like to be. Anyway - I think your...
What kind of lomo? A lubitel 166? Lubitel 2? A lomo Compact Automat (LC-A)? these are very different cameras and will need different advice. do you have any...
hi, i was happy to get my first lubitel the other day... only one small problem: i can`t use it properly! because... when i turned the taking lens to 1.4m, it...
If you don't have any specific requests, how about taking a stroll through past posts on the archive. The camera is so easy to use, though, just start ...
Hi there, welcome to this group. Congrats on getting a great camera! I think what You'll need to do is: open up the camera from the back and locate the four...
The best way to find the proper position for the cogs is to loosen both of them so that the lenses turn freely without the cogs. Screw the lenses all the way ...
Rowan, Sounds like your Lubitel repair skills are coming right along! Soon you'll need to get another one to fix up--maybe a 166 with a bad counter! Joseph ...
Hi Joseph, thanks for the compliments : ) I actually have a lubi at the moment that has me stumped. I think It's beyond repair : ( It's a 166B, and the self...
Have you tried flushing with butane lighter fluid? ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business $15K Web Design Giveaway ...
Hi Joseph, No I haven't tried butane. I think it's too far gone for that. If you're feeling confident, I'll send the shutter assembly to you and you can try to...
You can send it to me, but the only guarantee I can make is that if I can't fix it, I'll send it back to you. I have been able to repair every shutter I've ...
i just wanted to thank everyone for their help! i followed your instructions, and not only got the lens working, but used the paper trick to set the focus in...
I've got a 166B and I see that I can stop down the lens beyond F22. I'm curious, where does it stop abouts, anybody every try and figure it out? Thanx...
It's not really odd. All the Lubi lenses which I've seen do this. Look at it as a vestigial feature. Many of the lenses from half a century ago could 'stop'...
Yeah. If you're good at geometry, you could figure it out pretty easily. When the aperture (area) is half the area of F/22, you have F/32. When it's half of...
If you stop down more than f/22 you will vignette horribly. Your pictures will come out with rounded edges. ... __________________________________ Do you...
I have another suggestion to determin the minimum aperature. First, get your hands on a roll of transparency film. I always use transparency film for exposure...
Rowan, I received the shutter yesterday, and I've opened it up. There was another problem besides the two you mentioned. The shutter speed mechanism was also...
Rowan, Thought you'd might like to know that I've got your shutter sorted out. It was a mess of damage in there. I think the self-timer must have jammed on...
Hi guys im new to this club and this camera a 166B. Being used to my 35mm slrs and going to this little tlr is very cool and different. But I have a question...
Hi all, I've finally posted one of the many successful close-ups I have taken with my Lubitel and a Kodak portra +2 lens. The close up is the one of the cat....
Hi Jake, I'm glad you rreckon they look cool, cos that's all they're good for :) I think it's an asa reminder, but It isn't linked to anything else in the...
Hey thanks for the info I'll just do what you did. So do they really only look cool they have to work better than my holga I bought one of those hoping to get...
I use mine as a film reminder, but it's only an approximate. I also cant use it of course if I have 400 speed film in it. The dial itself does nothing for...
[Steven R. Hulse] Hi everyone! I just wanted to take a moment and say hi and intro myself. I'm Steve and I live in Sterling, Colorado. I just got a Lube-2 off...
Steven, Welcome! If you know the difference between sharp and blurry, and how to load film, work a manual shutter, turn a film advance knob, and read the...
