Hi Friends, Hope to soon receive the above if I use it with the 645 mask in the back, should there be a washer that goes with it? Am getting out of 35mm auto...
Hello John, Tony Wells here, up in Leeds, so all we need now is someone from Scotland to jointhe discussion and we have got the full length of the country...
Hello Friends, Have just bitten the bullet and ordered a 166 Olympic from Russia! I have a memory that you have to turn the winding knob twice for each frame,...
... Erase that memory. You have to turn the winding knob how many turns it needs for the next number to appear on the film as seen through the red glass in the...
As I have just won a 166B and a 2 on Ebay, I most certainly will Enrico, not least in the darkroom at the first chance I get <VBG> Talking of darkrooms, does...
Tony Processing of 120 size colour film is not cheap if you have it done by photo processers or if you do it yourself. I develop B&W myself and scan the...
Hello Peter, It seems that you and I are in complete agreement on this - sticking with home processed B&W. As for film choice, I have often looked at the...
Tony, Further to my earlier msg No.2550, the best available item would probably be the Hama 6950 Universal Hot Shoe Adapter. Links don't seem to work well from...
Hi Tony, Missed this thread - but do know that several scanners have the facility to scan MF negs; it might be worth giving the makers of your scanner a shout....
Hello Angus, Thank you for tracking this link down for me. I have now managed to accumulate three different sorts of adapter from various sources however, and...
Epson has some (relatively) affordable scanners with medium format capability as long as you're patient. The frames are kind of cheap and keeping the negs flat...
... I know what you mean, I have an EOS but bought my Lubitel to get back to basics so to speak, bough a Bronnie later (SQ-B) but still play with the Lubi. Are...
... A lot of Lubi users just put the aperture as small as possible, shoot and hope ! Works a lot of the time (HP5 or Delta 400 helps :-)) Cheers CJB...
Thanks for this Glen. I have now checked out this Arista at Freestyle. When I saw that it was made in CZ, I thought that it might be re-badged Foma at first,...
. . . . which goes to show how right Jay was (message No.2547) when he said, "The best way to shoot with flash on the Lubitel is to use a flash bracket." Good...
... Probably your best bet for universal viewability is to stick to screen res, 72ppi, and then make the image no bigger than, say, 5 inches or 360 pixels in...
We make fun of my Dad's approach to household D.I.Y., distilled into his "Three Rules": 1. Never plan. 2. Never measure. 3. Always use a hammer. I wonder what...
Hi Tony, For reducing costs in home developing b/w films, you might look into the "Parodinal" matter. This is a home brew, apparently boosted in the time gap...
Thanks Martin! I am just replying to my morning (e)mail over breakfast, so will check this out later on, after the morning's chores. Tony. ... From: "Martin...
Too true Angus, unless I use Ilford HP5 uprated to ISO 3200 and no flash of course .... Mind you, leaving the film in the developer overnight to push it that...
Thank you again Angus. I am also on a wood turning group where the pictures / files sections have to be regularly flushed out due to people posting overly...
Tony The Shanghai film has two drawbacks. Thr first is that the frame numbers on the backing paper are had to see through a Lubi red window. This was...
... This reminds me that time ago I had opened an account at http://www.fotothing.com/lubitel for every lubi user to share pictures. The idea had no followers,...
Thank you for this Enrico, it is good to know! Tony W. ... From: "Enrico" <belinke@...> To: <thelubitel166club@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, November...
