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...
Hi, Well I've just got my first set of prints back from my Lubitel, though not my best pictures..rather rushed off to see what the camera can do, I quite...
Hey Mart, It took a little moment for me to find the up or down loaded(what ever you call it :-) I found it(I forgot what choice I picked to find them on this...
aloha. Just bought a Lubie 166 U (The Russian domestic version with Cyrillic lettering). Had the same problems with opeing the top viewfinder. Pried it and it...
Looks like flare. I'd get a lens hood if I were you. I never shoot my Lubi or any TLR without a hood as the front element is so far forward and exposed. ... ...

The photo section has been kaput for well over a year as far as I know. I think the moderator is MIA. I found a Series 5 27mm filter adapter and a Series 5 ...
Hello everybody, After quite a long time I'm back to Russian and Ukrainian cameras. I got myself a Lubitel 166 (neither B nor Universal, just a plain 166) and...
Many months ago I wrote an email to Tommy Poulsen of Denmark, who is the official moderator here. Never got a reply and his website as a graphic designer was...
Unfortunately, you might have found out why this one's been hardly used at all. The 166 film transport spacing mechanism is fragile and prone to troubles. The...
Sorry to ask something so thick but I would be grateful for advice. I've just come across a Lubitel 166B and am about to use it for the first time, but don't...
