As great as the Lubitel 166+ is, there is one major disadvantage: the minimum focusing distance. While 80cm is close enough at most occasions, sometimes I would like to get closer. The easy solution to this is using close up filters, but most people who use use them end up guessing the correct focusing distance. From now on, you no longer have to guesstimate, but you can actually focus your image using your viewing lens! Read on and find out how.

At first I was afraid my urge to buy the Lubitel 166+ wasn't more than another breakout of GAS.

Turns out I couldn't have been more wrong!

Making your own redscale film is an easy job with 35mm film. So choices are limitless, you can just flip any and every CN film out there. But redscaling a medium format film is a whole different ball game, and is a lot easier said than done. Buying redscale 120 is basically the only viable option. And even though choices of pre-made redscale 120 film are limited, that's OK, since one of those is the perfect redscale film: Lomography's XR 50-200!

When it comes to black and white photography, I don't have tons of experience. I usually stick to the known and trusted Ilford brand.

I ordered some rolls, tried them out in the wild, and came back here to share my impressions with you.
