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. ... ...
1. Calibrating/adjusting your lenses: There are many descriptions in the archives on how to do this written by me as I've done it myself. Please go through...
Thanks Warren and Joseph for taking time to look at my pictures I'll be a little more conscious of where my fingers are! What with the time it takes me first...
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...
... It has no function other than to remind you what you've put in the camera... ;-) ... You can use any ASA/ISO you want to - just calibrate your light meter ...
thanks that was what i assumed. it was just the little pictures of the sun and a light bulb that threw me. I'm going to go and take my first medium format...
Hi all, Since Yahoo has announced publicly this week (apparently temporarily for their outage due maintenance) a forum to report group problems, I took the...
Thanks for doing this Martin. This is a big group....and about photography so it deserves to have a properly functioning photo section...the only trouble is...
Hello to everybody, Although I signed to this groups many months ago, this is the first time that I write on it. I'm Emiliano from Italy and I'm the appy owner...
Hi to everybody, just want to let you know that I added a new file to my folder in files...this is a photo of a friend of mine..took it with a big metz...
Hmm, It is quite a very good idea to have an active moderator for this group to maintain some functions of the website like Mr. Martin stated. Anything from...
Hi Anthony, First, a belated Happy New Year as well! Thanks for sharing this nice picture and giving the technical data. BTW, I don`t know if that applies all...
Hi K Ratana, I like the look of the buildings in your picture and am astonished that there is so little parallel divergence in the high-rise building walls (we...
Yes Martin, you're right..all speeds can be used with flash with any kind of Lubitel , I just decided to use 1/60 in order to try to catch also a little of...
Martin, I didn't use any software to manipulate just the camera itself. : ) But if I tilted the camera up, there would have been some distortion for sure. I ...
Hey Friends, First of all, I hope all had great holidays. Now to business. I know my Lomo pretty good and have experimented with the flash once or twice, but I...
