After taking a couple of frames [Lubitel 166U], I opened the back. Well, to be fair, it fell open. This was not the Lubitel's fault; I suspect the evil hand...
Hi, If I understand correctly, you aretrying to salvage the taken pics on the roll that was already inserted. How many pics did youy use up so far(what film #...
They're probably fine. What speed film was in it? The slower the speed the more likely the other exposures were not injured so much. For example, if you had...
Hi Warren, It was literally a couple of shots: frame 3 (6x6) was at the back of the camera, unexposed (until the back opened). Thinking about it, the way the...
Good thoughts, thank you. It was indoors, and it was a miserable day here, it was 160 ASA Fuji NPS, and the back was open for only a second or so, so the shots...
Hi everybody, I'm a new member of the group and I recently ran a roll of Kodak 160NC 120 film through my Lubitel 166U. This is the first roll of film I've ...
John, I don't know what that smudge is in the second picture, but I wouldn't diagnose anything with the focus that far off. A little smudge in between the ...
Hi everybody, Well, I tried resynching the focus between my taking lens and focus lens on my 166U. In the process I opened up the lens to take a look inside....

I'm trying to recall from memory: the front element screws in, the center and rear elements, I believe, are held in place with spring clips. I can't remember ...
Hi Joseph, You are definitely right. The middle element looks like it should be held in place with a spring clip. And there is a clip there to hold it. The...
Or you might be able to bend it enough to get it to work. If the spring is the wrong size, it's got to be because someone who came along later lost it and ...

Hey, The other member was right. I would punch in your search engine..fee lubitel users(or owners) manual. And you might want to stick PDF in there somewhere....
Ok so I bought it off e-bay for £7 plus P&P so it's not the most expensive photographic purchase in history, and the main reason is to see if I like TLR /WLF...

Just got my "new" 166. Talk about a beginner!! My question is "How do you open the viewfinder? I don't want to force anything until I know what I'm doing. I...
Your has probably just been jammed down in shipment. I had one that I had to pry open with a knife the first time I opened it--but far as I can tell, nothing ...
It's amazing how robust they are really. The first time I encountered the viewfinding apparatus, with the four flaps and then that skinny little focusing lens...
Hey Angus, So it worked out for you getting the view finder open? Listen to Joe, he has been on this group for a good amount of time. So, Angus..have you tried...
