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,...
Hi Mark, No fungus visible :-( Should be nice if someone has the details of the taking apart (on most of the cameras I did the CLA's myself, but not without...
Hello Joseph, The good news is that I only managed to smear the back surface of the front element and the front surface of the second group; both responded...
Hi. I thought of another problem that I'd seen from time to time. Sometimes elements are cemented together and over time they can begin to separate. This ...
... Hi, In older lenses the elements were spaced by Balsam, which. after a time will break down, I use lenses at work which carry a great deal of light and...

Hi Rob, I was quite interested what your website had to say about the Lubitel. I've now given the inside of mine a coat of black paint could the shiny inside...
... That's unusual. Did you squirt it heavily onto the lens? I usually wet a lens cloth with the lens fluid. If I do put fluid directly on a lens, I only put...
Now Joseph, You know me: if there's a knuckleheaded way to charge in and mess things up, I can be relied upon to find it and get on with it without asking...
Hi Martyn, f64 is one stop down from f45, but at this aperture resolutions should already seriously drop. These are the diffraction-limits for an ideal lens...
Dear Martyn, What type of paint that you use to repaint the inside and where did you buy it? I think I need to paint the interior also. Thanks, K Ratana ... ...
Hi Rob, I couldn't understand how is possible to reach f64 with a lubitel... Can you explain? Thanks a lot Emiliano Hi Martyn, f64 is one stop down from f45,...
new to this camera,removed the front lens (taking) for inside cleaning,and lost my position for the remount,anyone have any idea how many turns inward before...
I have noticed that the finish in the film chamber of my 166B is quite matt-much less shiny that those in my Lubitel and Lubitel-2. I wonder if painting the...
Boy, it's been a while since I opened up a Lubi shutter. IIRC, I think the cover plate is held in place by a cam and that's it. You just turn the cam to free...
Hi Emiliano, http://users.telenet.be/bobkeppens/zcg/4em.jpg Just pull the lever as for as possible, you will notice that the aperture indicator on the scale...

rob. the 2 prints are wonderful. btw, is the matte board over the print done digitally or is it a direct shot of the print behind a matte board? appreciate a...
Hi Emiliano, The pictures are made with a Komsomolyets, the forerunner of the Lubitel. Basicly there are two types, one with the T-21 lens (6.3/80mm) ...
Thanks Paul, It's digitally done with Photofiltre (http://www.photofiltre.com/) Small yet powerfull piece of software "(PhotoFiltre is free for a private, non...
Hi Rob, I am a member of the Lubitel 166 Club, and I finally after a deay or 2 got a chance to look at your pictures. Nice composition and frameing in all plus...
