new one

[ferny]

Not really vintage, this one was made in 1989. It's a Lubitel 166 which I've found out is actually made by Lomo. It was given to me (yes, I was shocked after seeing the price of them!) with another load of darkroom gear - which I'll talk about in the other thread - and I was simply told it was a medium format Russian camera. I loaded it up the next day and went shooting (without a gun) at an open farm. I was using old colour film and I doubt they'll develop well but it was ****ing brilliant looking through the glass. That made the whole day worthwhile and when I let my mate have a go he was hooked after looking down it too.

It's a Lomo but it aint no real Lomo!

Wow - it looks like it's been kept under glass or very well cared-for - I can see the polished lenses clearly and the body looks immaculate! :shock:

Can't wait to see the pictures from this bad boy.

Did you shot any with is in Ockham?

Yes. About four shots with really on 50iso film ina dark room. I expect they'll come out brilliant...

I bought a Lubitel 2 as a gift for a friend of mine a not so long ago. It seems to be in mint condition. I've loaded it with film but I'm not 100% sure how to work it.

thanks for the link fern

Has your friend tried it yet?

No, she hasn't got a clue. She's relying on me to figure it all out.
