We all know that new Lubitel 166+ takes both 120 and 35mm films. But I have tried 220 film and it works too! 220 films are longer 120 films, but without the protecting paper. You can shoot twice as many images, but you have to do something about the red window on the back of the camera, because as the paper-protection is missing from the film, your shots will be nothing if you don’t cover it. But this creates another problem, how far should you advance the film? That is another technique. You just guess how far to forward the film, so you’ll get lots of overlapping images!
Try to shoot close ups and something far, change direction of your camera (regular and square) to combine different things. But then there is another problem: how do you know when the film is finished? You can’t, so you have to shoot and advance till the rewinding-wheel of your Lubitel + is no longer moving. The bad part about that is that the last three or four shots are a big nothing, because they are shot on the paper… But try it out. There are some cheap 220 films. Yyou’ll have one endless image, overlapping, nice and surprising :)
