• A Lomography re-invention - The 21st Century Lubitel 166+ •
Stop. Look down into the world of the Lubitel+ We are thrilled to introduce you to the new Lubitel+...the biggest news in years for lovers of authentic analogue photography! Light and compact with stunning new features and improvements, our loving re-creation of the Soviet-era, LOMO Lubitel, Twin Lens Reflex takes analogue photography back to the fundamentals.
The Lubitel+ takes you by the hand and makes a better photographer out of you...
We've retained all the well-loved classic features, (like the signature coated glass lens) and added in a swarm of improvements and innovations to set to rights those original Lubitel personality "quirks". Here are the highlights:
THE NEW FEATURES:
http://www.lomography.com/lubitel166+/new-features
INBUILT 35MM FILM CONVERSION MECHANISM - THE LUBIKIN SET
Includes a 35mm mask, film pick-up spool,
35mm film holder and 35mm counter
pressure plate.
Enables sprocket-hole look.
CLOSER & BROADER FOCUSING
The Lubitel+ lens focuses to 0.8m, while the classic Lubitel lens only focused to 1.4m. Meaning stronger, more intense portraits & close-up shots!
IMPROVED MILKY VIEWFINDER
The Lubitel+'s viewfinder glass is perfectly flat glass and covers 100% of the image.
The original viewfinder used curved glass, was a bit tough to see in any angle other than head-on, and only covered 80% of the image.
Split image and microprism.
STANDARD HOTSHOE
Syncs any standard hotshoe flash - incl. Colorsplash flash & Diana Flash.
STOP FOCUS MECHANISM
New easy zone focus mode with distance settings - 0.8m, 1.5m, 3m & infinity
REWIND YOUR 120 ROLLS
With the Lubitel+, you can rewind your film BEFORE the end of the roll. This allows you to rewind to a
past frame, shoot on it again, and then even trade film rolls with a mate for double or triple exposures! A rare feature!
Plus other new features: exchangeable back and viewfinder...

ENDLESS PANORAMA 120

Photographing with the Lubitel+ is somehow intimate. Every shot a personal reflection characterised by the Lubitel+'s pro-quality uniqueness.
Unlike most cameras, you cannot hide behind the Lubitel and spectate. Instead you move together - holding it close to your chest with head bowed to look down the top down viewfinder. As many practised Lubitel devotees will know this intimate experience, of capturing rather than shooting, translates into some of the most passionate, atmospheric and surprising images you will ever create.
Picture result? An analogue rhapsody, where the love and care behind each shot is clear to see, along with the creative surprises unique to the Lubitel+ effect. The striking look of professionalism spills out from the image. In spirit, format and creative possibilities - The Lubitel+ is unlike anything to come before.
You could say the Lubitel+ has been 60 years in the making. The first Lubitel camera was launched right after the war in 1946 under the name Komsomolets. In 1949 the camera received a name change and with it a new direction. The Lubitel, meaning "Amateur" in Russian, gave ordinary Soviet photography lovers the chance to achieve professional image quality using a fully manual and affordable TLR camera.
