HI Pierre ... know I do. The Lubitel is a whole different ball game. It's not a replacement for a Holga, in my opinion. It's much too sharp - much closer to a...
P.S. Does anyone know, is the Lubitel 166U the same as a 166 Universal/ I thought it was but didnt know for sure. I am still a newbie :) thanks Gary...
Hi Gary No, I can't say I've ever even tried to use the Lubi for portrait work, I guess because I think the lens is a bit on the wide side, and I naturally...
... work, I guess because I think the lens is a bit on the wide side, and I naturally just gravitate to my Nikon with 105 Nikkor for that. Hi Pierre Small...
Hi Pierre ... Alright! thank you. I was hoping that was the case, as the U's are the later versions.... thanks again!! WIll be snapping as soon as the Lubi...
It's not something every local store would carry, but it's not that hard to find on the Internet. I got mine on ebay. This is just me, but I don't think...

You can go a long way with just a #8 Yellow (use it almost all the time with B&W, if not using another filter), a #25 Red for more dramatic skies, mainly, and...
There is lots of misinformation on the internet, I find. Whenever someone asks, I strongly recommend a Lubitel 166U if it's to be actually used, simply because...
The four basic black and white filters are the following; X-1 Green: Used mainly for portraiture to better render lips on light-skinned people; G Orange:...
Got my third pack of photos today and added a new photo to my Kalevala-map in photo-section. What surprised me is the sudden unsharpness just above the pot....
Sophie, When you say "complete beginner", do you mean just in Medium Format, or manual photography altogether? Did you ever use manual mode on your SLR? If...
Joseph, I found a few of my grandparent's snapshot negs on 6x4.5, but many of these were from 127 films. The other 6x4.5 negs were on 120, but shot with...
The Clack has an additional aperture which can make the camera useable even with ISO 100 film. I've used ISO 400 TCN with it, and encountered no problems with...
There are two main variations of the Clack. One (not mine) is as you describe, with the built-in yellow filter as part of the "aperture" settings. Mine does...
Jay, Were you shooting outdoors with teh 400 speed film? I was using only 100 speed film and I found the images to be overexposed until I used the neutral...
Mine has three settings, 1-3 meters, and two 3 to infinity, but one of the 3 to infinity settings is for cloudy days and the other is for bright sun. The ...
Joseph Yes, that was outdoors, but not in very bright sunlight. My Agfa has a shutter speed which sounds to be intermediate between 1/30 and 1/100- I think...
Thanks Jay. That's good to know because I've got about 10 rolls of the TCN 400 lying around. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail...
Due to quality control issues, some cameras may or may not leak light at all. I don't think its due to improper use of masks or handling of the spool itself....
Joseph Re-read the other post, and noticed something missing: it should have said, "...makes the negatives print easier to neutral greys, when printed on...
that's what I could read from the camera I got today from my parents in law. They arrived back today from a holiday in Russia and found this camera between all...
Thank's for your answer. In the meantime I found another website with more info about these cameras: www.rolandandcaroline.co.uk/komsom.html I found my...
Instructed by our father, we began as kids to develop (western) Agfa Isopans exposed with Grandpa´s Agfa Click in the 60´s. The spools were ever plastic, and...
Martin The 120 rolls were wooden before they became all-metal or plastic. I think this was one feature which made the 620 different- a metallic core which...
