I am new to the group - can I get some background info on a Lubitel- 166U model I just received from a friend that came back from overseas? The camera is new...
I think you speak for all of us. Lubitels produce output way better than cameras costing ten, twenty times the price, and all they ask is patience. They...
... You need to cut and paste the "166.htm" onto the end of the line above and paste that into your browser: the link got wrapped over two lines in the...
Hi guys I have just joined your group and I am looking forward to talking to you all. I will be receiving my lubitel camera very soon and I am really looking...
- Hi Lynn, Welcome, I am sure you will enjoy your Lubitel. Which one did you get. I have the Lubitel Universel. If your directions or users manual is in...
Hi Everyone in Our Group, I've been tring to figure out what size filtefrs I need to fit my Lubitel U. What would be the size I need in mm or inches? Is there ...
... You'll need 40.5mm filters. ... I got a couple of red filters from a German store selling via eBay. I'm sure if you just search for 40.5mm filters there...
Warren, 40.5mm filters fit the Lubitel 166U. This is a common size and fits many many Russian normal lenses. That's because it's an even older German filter...
Thanks, Robbie. I will do e-bay thing most likely or a web search for a carryer now that I know the size and thak you for the comment also that the hood size...
What settings would you recomend (166-U) to take photos on a sunny day around 15-20 feet from the subject? Possible some tree shade so I will say broken sunny...
If you've got 100 ASA negative film in, try between f16 at 1/125 (good ole "Sunny 16" rule)and f11 at 1/60. If you're shooting slides your expo must be spot...
Hi Warren, I doubt if the filters were 2mm in diameter. There are 25.4 mm to the inch approximately, so 2mm is actually less than a 1/12th of an inch (yes,...
From the picture I posted in the Book's folder 'boss', I believed I underexposed it and it has more vignet on the image. Do you guys think that underexposing...
Well the vignetting is not so clearly visible to me, frankly I donīt know how the illumination of the room was. At least your idea is right by tendency IMHO,...
Sometimes my own idiocy amazes even me, and you'd think I'd be used to it by now. Yesterday I sat down to get some specs off the inside of the lens of a 166U....
Hey Angus, How about good ole lighter fluid, as long as non sturates the plastic. I am sure it won't suddenly disinagrate vanything and lighter fluid has that...
Hi Warren, how do, man? I was wondering about the ole Ronsonol, or even denatured alcohol (meths without the anti-wino junk in it). I'm just a bit concerned...
Lots of lens paper, lots of lens fluid and lots of patience. That's the only formula I know of that really works. Unless I'm missing something. If the grease...
I have a 166 Universal for sale (I BOUGHT ONE AND RECEIVED ONE AS A GIFT THE FOLLOWING WEEK) Comes with a cheeeeesy Russian case, lens cap, strap, Manual in...
Angus, Yes, I still have some more than ten rolls of NPS 160 in the freezer (but 35 mm film only) and exposure them as ISO 200. The film is expired (Jul. 05)...
I use lighter fluid (for Zippos but any else will do) to de-grease lens surfaces. Okay, this leaves a rainbow or haze but that can be wiped off with lens...
Hi friends ., please join our group : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dating5s We have a nice place for you to gather for a chat, post messages, keep in touch,...
Hi all, I'm Rob Keppens from Flanders, Belgium. I do a lot of photographic classic B&W work, somtimes on charge. Equipment used ranges from pinhole cam's,...
Greetings from South Florida USA. Firstly I would like to say that your photos are outstanding! The problem one that appears to have a haze in the upper right...
Hi I've had similar problems with my 166U. I have fungus on my lens - it is very visible on close inspection. Someone once sent me a detailed breakdown of...
Hi Gene, Unfortunately no fungus visible on the front lens, maybe there's a small misalignment between front and other two lenses. Thanks for the appreciation,...
