Hi everybody, I just got the prints back from the shop. I realized that my lubi is out of focus right now. the first pic I took, I used high F-stop but when I...
Hello Warren, Sorry it took me so long to reply -- your msg came at the beginning of my 'busy season' and it's been all-hands-on-deck around here. It's a...
I started using Dwaynesphoto.com following a recommendation in this forum. They consistently do a great job for me and the price is reasonable: for color,...
Joseph, You are amazing, Sir. "flood the shutter withliquid butane"!?!?! I just keep wondering where you learned all this stuff. No, don't tell us, it'd...
When I saw the negative, I found lot's of leakage along the edge of the film. It did affect in the image. So I plan to fix the leakage with the light buffle. I...
You're very welcome. The Lubitel shutter is a very robust unit and responds well to simple efforts like this. One caveat: sometimes flooding with fluid will...
Which model of Lubitel do you have? If it had 6x4.5 capability, were you shooting 6x4.5? I've only had leak problems when shooting 6x4.5 on a 166U. ... ...
Dear Joseph, I use the lubitel 166U. I got the 6x4.5 mask but haven't used it. You can check my pics in Book's folder in the photo section to see if you can...
I take it you're using the butane as a rapidly evaporating lubricant. Very clever. When it comes to actually doing this, rather than just marvelling that it...
Hello Kratanat, When i bought my first lubitel I had to do some repairs on it, one of this was a small light leak on my film. I solved the problem replacing...
Dear Mr. Celli, Thanks for your suggestion. I am trying to think about the cheap method. The seal is a very good idea. I don't have to order the light buffle...
Hmm this is pretty weird, mine doesn't have any kind of wool or cotton sealant on the camera. MIGHT BE THAT SELLER !!!! kidding, ei ei nothing to to with the...
Mr . Celli? Please call me Emiliano. [;)] as regards focus, I set it with the transparent part of a cd cover and a piece of translucent paper putting paper...
Hey Angus, I was reading the stream of your inquiry of the lighter fluid scenario. I think the guy might mean a squirt of the fluid type non-aerosol type of...
Good question Warren, the liquid or the aerosol? I have not got arround to buying any lighter fluid yet to try and fix my problem. Looking forward to some...
Hey O, What do you think about my comment and inquiry about 120 slide film. If it comes in the regular size like a 35mm slide would be, for a regular slide...
Hi I've decided to dig out my old Lubitel 166 project after shelving it for some time. I have mould / fungus growth on the inside of my lens element. I...
There's a difference between light leak and reflections. If your problem is reflecting light, then the baffles should help, but flocking is probably easier. ...
It'd be more accurate to use the glass, but you might get tape alone to work. I was able to set the focus on my Lubitel using just a translucent white plastic...
I use liquid, which is why I suggested liquid butane. You can try gas, but it's a pain just to get it out of the bottle. If you have an air compressor, you...
You don't use the grooves for setting the glass, you use the focus spot. The focus spot needs to be face down so that the top of the glass is smooth. Which ...
... slide). The size of the slide is determined by the size of the negative (rather, with a slide it's called a positive). A medium format slide is typically...
I'd just like to ask for curiousity's sake where you stored the camera that it got fungus in it. I have quite a few cameras and this is a constant worry. ...
I use the liquid and give a light squirt. It would probably be better to draw it up into a syringe for better control as the butane bottles tend to leak due ...
I put some lighter fluid in ad the shutter is no longer sticking but I may have used a bit too much, so I will need to take the lenses out to clean. Now that...
Hey Luibitel shutter bugs, Do you think the lighter fluid works due partly seeing that there is a tad of a oil of some sort in it, or do you think it is the...
Hey Angus, I have some 127 film I got from a film distributor, I bought like 8 or 10 rolls. There black and white and you know what. I don't have trouble...
I couldn't find the ground glass around my apartment. So I use the translucent white plastic bag also. It is not hard to adjust but it took time and I am not...
