here are last "avatar" from Lubitel . this camera is made by F. Dupuis , my freind technic prof in hight school in my Town. this project began to make a special diving camera : He cut 2 bakélite lubitel as you can see (interesting because 2 different tripos screw diameters on each side !!!) -the lens provide from Lub.166 (now out of order because salt in sea water unfortunatly !) -finder was on diving box as usual. -just missing : focus scale distances. Franck sid me : very hard to machined bakelite : he use special Titan milling cutter at veryhight speed to avoid hight temperatures. all parts was stack whith epoxide cement. http://www.ussrphoto.com/UserContent/lubitel reduc diving 1.jpg
