| For many Lubitel+ devotees, the camera's 35mm ability is their most treasured characteristic. We owe this newly found glory to a little set of plastic pieces called the "Lubikin" Named after the treasured "Rolleikin" set for Rolleiflex TLR cameras, the Lubikin efficiently transforms your Lubitel into a multi-format snapshot machine. Here's some tasty details and a brief video that shows how the whole shebang works. |

| When that oh-so-familiar small format passes behind the Lubitel's multi-coated glass lens, all sorts of special things happen. The perfect union of hi-fi and lo-fi. The most shining example of 120 design and 35mm emulsions holding hands and being best friends. All in all, a stunning analog tour de force! Click on through this carefully curated and all-new 35mm Lubitel+ Gallery to see just what we're talking about. |

Just in case you haven't had a chance to be formally introduced, here's a little recap of what makes the Lubitel+ so deeply satisfying. We’ve built a prince’s ransom of improvements into the basic Lubitel design. As Lubitel devotees for countless years, we had a few “pet peeves” that we wanted to change. Here’s the bigger and the better: |
 |
| • Square 120 (6x6): The all-time Lubitel classic. 12 shots on one roll • Rectangular 120 (6x4.5): 16 lovely landscape images on one roll • Endless Panorama 120: An unlimited amount of consecutive frames • 35mm Portrait Panoramic (58x24): panoramic portraits where the image exposes the entire film – including the sprocket holes! |
 |
| The Lubitel+’s viewfinder glass is perfectly flat ground 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. |
 |
 |
| the Lubitel+ lens focuses to 0.8m, while the classic Lubitel lens only focused to 1.4m. This means stronger and more intense portraits and close-up shots! The Lubitel+ also features a easy zone focus mode which snaps to the familiar LC-A+ distance settings of 0.8m, 1.5m, 3m, and infinity (allowing you to truly “be fast”). |
 |
 |
| Sync any standard hotshoe flash – including the Colorsplash flash or Diana Flash – perfectly with your camera. |
 |
 |
| With the Lubitel+, you can rewind your film before the end of the roll. This allows you to trade film rolls with a mate rewind to a past frame and shoot on it again. This is one of the only medium format cameras in the world that can do this! |
 |
 |
| Setting the manual exposure of the Lubitel just got a lot easier with the help of two handy exposure guides (one aperture-priority, one shutter-priority) printed right onto your camera. |
