A selection of shots here to show you from my very first few rolls shot with the new Lubitel 166+. I have been waiting for this particular camera to arrive for a week or so now as stocks were a little delayed – but a ring on my door bell this morning dragged me out of my warm bed – but I’m so glad that it did because HELLO SUNSHINE !
I unpacked her ladyship fast, I was excited , I played with all the buttons, open and shutting it, twisting & turning it in my hands again and again – seeing how much I could already figure out by myself … then I read up on the area’s I was not sure about. It’s pretty easy to understand, but I would recommend reading the manual that comes with it to at least refresh your mind – if not to teach you how to use this black boxed wonder the best.
I always think however that experimenting yourself is the very best way to discover it all for yourself. The lens quality is really good, very clear focus. The main body is light but sturdy, the mechanism is genius! The possibilities are endless! I decided first off all to try my hand at 120 roll film – so here are the results.
I am thrilled to shoot more – it put a big smile on my face and uh huh I do recommend you get one to try out, it’s the most fun I have had since throwing flickr balloons at Photokina at snoop – incidentally we were aiming at someone else , snoop just happened to get in the way ! OOOpppps how we laughed … sorry snoop! Yum flickr muffins …
So yes ok back to the Lubitel … tip top say I. So ermmmmmmmmmm what is next to shoot with this new boxed funster – maybe 35mm, doubles, endless panoramic ? I am not sure but those questions I will dream about until my next adventure …
