Lubitel+
Hey does like anyone here own a Lubitel? been reading up on it and it looks super awesome.

well i do, a Lubitel 166 Olympic Version :D

OH WOW! i was looking at just that model. Thats awesome. Do you have any photos you have from your Lubitel? post it up!!! =)

Well i did post some pictures up under the 'black and white' titled illusions. but heres some !

Whoa. Brilliant. So like Lubi uses 120 film but you can also change it to 35mm yea? Seems like they dont vignette and reading about it looks like its REALLY tough to use. But its so old skool thats why i love it! Worth the investment? =)

i'm not too sure about the 35mm part but i'm sure it's possible, and yes it is REALLY REALLY though to use, the viewer doesn't really work so focusing is real though. it uses 120 film so its gonna be expensive in the long run and mastering the focus would take awhile but i still think it's worth investing in one!

Oh man. sounds hard already hearing you talk about it! looks like i shall stick to my holga and master it first!! =) But i went to see your flickr photos from your Lubi and it looks really really good. PRO!! Thanks so much for the info! :D

oh and one more thing about the lubitel, it produces some sort of a radial blur, i'm not too sure about this cause none of my photos have them but i've seen photos on flickr producing such blurness using a lubitel. here are some examples, http://www.flickr.com/photos/namke/406080881/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/e50e/52313901/ the blur seems to move in a swirl.

Oh right right. yea i can see them. Could be focusing issues possibility? Dont think its the film.
