• Lubitel Love From Waist Level Chapter 40: Lubitel Techniques, Playing the Field

  
  A beautiful aspect of the Lubitel is that the shutter and advance are not coupled. Sure, you can shoot a frame, looks at the little numbers in the back, and advance to the exact start of the next one. But try shooting a roll blind.

• Lubitel Love From Waist Level Chapter 39: Lubitel Techniques, Cross Dressing

  
  Slide film is great for scanning and treating your folks to charming projection shows, but any Lomographer worth his/her chops will tell you that cross-processing (developing slide film in negative chemicals) is the freaking bees knees.

• Lubitel Love From Waist Level Chapter 27: The Lubitel +

  
  As we daydreamed of breathing new life into our most beloved classic cameras, the Lubitel was always the unreachable ultimate goal. We’ve shot tons of Luibtel images over this time, and we were infatuated with the “Lubitel style” - slow, romantic, humorous, straight, intense, atmospheric, centered, focused, strange, light, silent, surprising, passionate, and amateurish in the best sense of the word! And so, we - the Lomographic Society - with your support and hyperactive energy, have dared to approach his highness - the untouchable Lubitel!

• Lubitel Love From Waist Level Chapter 26: Lubitel Experts, Luiz Antonio Paracampo Filho

  
  Luiz’s obsession with Soviet cameras dates back to 1962. As a technical photography buff, the most perfect camera that he could imagine was a synthesis a synthesis of the Contax S and a Leica screwmount rangefinder. While attending a Soviet Exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, he happened upon a Zenit 3 - which pretty much matched the ideal vision in his head! At that moment, Soviet cameras captured his imagination – and they haven’t let go!

  She’s a looker. I mean, it’s easy to love the "Lubitel’s": bakelike body and shining twin eyes. Her delicate figure and her Cyrillic style. It’s easy to have a quick Summer fling (don’t mean a thing) with her. But some dedicated individuals have really committed themselves to a long-term relationship. Like these two fine gentlemen who you’ll meet shortly.

• Lubitel Love From Waist Level Chapter 23: Lubitel Curiosity

  
  This three-eyed beauty is often mistaken for a pair of Lubitel 2’s which have been joined at the hip. Although they share a lot of the same basic mechanics, the Sputnik is definitely a separate beastie of its own.

• Lubitel Love From Waist Level Chapter 22: Lubitel Models, LUBITEL 166

  
  The original 166 is a somewhat rare model - as it’s production number (70,000) is far beneath the mammoth quantities commanded by the other models. It featured a few significant improvements over the Lubitel 2, namely a film counter (rather than a red window) and a coupled advance and shutter cock.
