First Lubitel 166b Results
June 8th, 2008 by DurkinPosted in Photography
Not technically a Holga, but still a member of the Lomography family, the Lubitel 166b offered up some very interesting leaks and images.
This is the first film I’ve ever done with this camera after owning it for almost two years. I was really please with how sharp they are but I was also a little disappointed at the light leaks. I wasn’t expecting them from this camera but apparently its pretty common.
Please leave a comment to tell me what you think of the results!
I would love to shoot more with this camera and its something i plan to do in the near future. Next though I would love to apply that hack for using 35mm film in a Holga to this camera to see what results I can get!

In some of the pictures, the light leaks didn’t seem distracting at all. Can you manually control the shutter speed and aperture with the Lubitel or are they fixed (like the Holga)? I especially like the 4th and 8th picture from the top.

yeah you have to control the camera completely manually, i was pretty much guessing around the sunny 16 rule! Yeah the leaks don’t ruin the picturs but for some reason I just don’t like them!
Cheers for the comment

cheers for the comment! I took them around my home town of Chester, i was using the sunny sixteen rule in overcast conditions and it worked really well!
