My friend, my foe, my broken Lubitel 166B

Broken, but still beautiful to look at.... I feel the need to convert it in to something special, like a directional lamp perhaps? Jam the shutter open and insert a small bulb in to the film chamber?..... Plans are hatching :-)

I'm a sucker for pictures of cameras! Petapixel has a good article on converting old cameras to nightlights if you're serious about doing it.

Why not make it a pinhole-camera?
