I've found the source of a light leak in my 166U that probably applies to many 166Us out there. A while ago, I had already put black foam all around the rear...
Hi everyone! I got my new Lomo today and a roll of color film to do my test. I'm hoping that I can get out today with the kids and do some shots, it's a...
I wonder how serious this problem can really be. I've not encountered it, with any Lubitel (I only have a 166B, 2 Lubitel-1 and 1 Komsomolyets) or any camera...
All I can say is, I've got pictures with a distinct red plume along the left edge--meaning the leak is on the right edge. The leak is not caused by the red ...
Hi, I have a Lubitel 166U since 1 week but never tried it with film. It is in good condition overall, because it was hardly used since it was manufactured...
are you talking about the dial on the back all it does is go back and forth with a little arrow on it to cover the red window to prevent light from passing...
Hi Jake, I guess something is broken... I´m talking about the screw or something just below the dial that contains the red window. I can turn the dial freely...
ok then I am to take it this is on the inside of the camera ? if so I would like to check mine but I have film in it . I looked in my 166B and there is no...
Hi Jake thanks a lot for all your help... I´m going to send you a scan of my camera to your e-mail to point right on it which is the failure I`m thinking of....

I have this strange problem, where I can't set an aperture below F11. Above F11 it seems to work OK. I took a film (using my original Leningrad 4 exposure...
When you say stuck, does the lever not move lower then f11? Or is it that you can move the lever but the blades stop moving when you move below f-11? ... F11....
It's probably rusted. All you have to do is, either squirt some oil between the shutter and the body if you can, that's worked for me in the past--I had an ...
Back in April, Steve Brooks posed the question that the aperature knob actually goes past the lowest marked aperature of f/22, and asked if anyone had an idea...
I believe that one of my older light meters had a f45 setting which I found jived with the minimum aperture on my Sputnik camera. Your estimates are...
I was really far into debt. Like Most I was in Financial dispair. I could not seem to get ahead no matter how hard I tried. Untill I found this place. ...

I think there are standing physical rules behind that most lenses of today don`t go underneath f 22. Every lens has an optimum sharpness at mediocre apertures...
Excellent point! Most lenses do suffer quality loss at extreme small and large aperatures. That's probably why the smaller aperatures aren't marked. The...
I had really high interest rates on my home loan. I saved thousands of dollars on home payments. And you can too. Interest rates are as low as can be, And Yes...
hi, i got a lubitel on eBay and am having trouble - when i cock the shutter and hit the release it only releases about halfway and "sticks" there, leaving the...
Sounds to me like the shutter brake is snagging. Here are your repair options in reverse order: Send the shutter to me, and I'll fix it for $15, so long as ...
hi im new here and what an excelent group this is my lubitl was suffering from a tight lens and so i adjusted it as suggested in some other posts that works...
Remember, you have to adjust the position of the upper and lower lens relative to each other as well. If the upper lens isn't out far enough, you need to...
How much of the actual image area do you see in the WLF? I know it's less than what you get on the 6x6 image, but does anyone have an idea of aproximately (or...
It's definitely less than what you'll get on film. However, since the screen on the Lubitel isn't a true groundglass screen- it is a rather large field lens...
