I'd like to know where you read that, because it's wrong. I'd send the publisher an email. My first Lubitel, a Lubitel 2 did not come with a release cable,...
Hi, As you have a Lubitel 166U - a standard cable release should fit fine. However the Lubitel 166 (yes - its a different model from the 166U) does not have a...
I'm not remembering where I read it except that it was off one of the links from this site. It did say for 166, and not 166u so I suppose that my concerns are...
Joseph My Lubitel 166B (NIB, from the Ukraine) had a cable release in its box. Cable releases of the short type seem to be part of the standard equipment kit...
Jay, I've since bought a few more Lubitels and have the cable releases that come with the kit. They are short and very convenient. I find that if I use them,...
Joseph All the Lubitel, except maybe the Lubitel 166, retained the old shutter case design inherited from the time when leaf shutters first appeared. The only...
Hi Group, I have posted some pictures from my first 2 rolls. I scanned them in at Walmart. I took all photo's using the sunny 16 rule. I have a older light ...
Did Wal-Mart do the scanning or did you scan them to a disk using the Kodak Picture Maker or an equivalent competitor's device? I've been looking for...
I did all the scanning myself. It was not Kodak Picture Maker but something like it. They charge a little under $4.00 to do a cd, all the pics you can fit....
Hi Joseph Did you have trouble with Frontier prints? I find the Fuji Frontier prints to be better, if not the best among the digital printers. It has the...
I know, the price of Vermont is really enticing. The other processors aren't even close. To be fair, I've had Qualex lose an entire roll of negatives on me,...
Absolutely not. I meant to say that the level of quality was good. It's just that if I can make a whole cd on a Fuji Frontier at Wal-Mart, which I guess I...
Hello, i just took my first pictures with my lubitel 2 in berlin. i have some questions about the camera: (my pictures are getting developped at the time, so i...
There is no connection between the brightness seen through the bright finder and the amount of light passed onto the film. As with all cameras, the amount of...
You said this is your first lubitel pic, but have you worked with medium format before? How long have you been into photography. I absolutely love the...

Thanks Sken. First off, I put more of the photos online. Had to resize them as uploading the full scans was killing me. Ya, this is my first attempt at...
cool sounds alot like my setup. I made a "frame" to hold different pieces of fabric for backgrounds. http://www.software-cinema.com/documents/tt-book.pdf is...
I finally got a chance to look at the photos since I'm at home today (the photo section is blocked at work, not that I get on the internet at work or anything,...
I just got my 166 Olympic today and I am baffled on how to properly load it! I sacrificed a roll of 120 film to see if I am doing this right but I have a...
First of all, there is a big arrow on the leader of a standard roll of 120 film. It's actually a line that cuts across the width of the roll with an arrow...
Thanks - I will try tonight and let you know. Without the little red window I appear lost. One dumb question before I go off and try this, how much should I...
The white dots on either side of the film rail (these are on the camera) lining up with the arrow on the film is how much of the leader you should wind up ...
Just uploaded a few Lubitel photos - out of about 5 rolls I shot in 2 weeks - from this summer's trip to northern Spain. Photos > Andy Mellor > Cantabria 04 ...
THANK YOU! The white dots got me dead on center. I do notice that on the third frame, the winder knob tends to hang up and not move. I have to play around...
Oooooohhhhhhh Yeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! What's happening is the film counter is not disengaging. The film counter is a little wheel with notches in it, in which...
Just a thought from someone with lots of fine mechanical repair experience (but zero camera repair exp.) if you are going to try lubrication you may consider...
