Hi guys
I'm relatively new to old soviet cameras.
i have collected some rangefinders over the years.
anyways,i've recently acquired a Lubitel camera,i bought it from a market in Moscow.the vendor didnt know much about it,it was cheap so i bought it.
the problem was mine seems to be an old model.
there's only a Lubitel sign written in Russian on top of the camera.
i cant find infos about this camera anywhere on the internet.

anyway,i was hoping whether anyone could tell me more about this camera.
is it similar to the other Lubitel models (2,166,166U) in terms of how it works?
if possible can anyone provide me with a manual for the camera?
i know a bit of Russian,so a russian one is ok [:)]

Hello aresha.

Just in case you can't read Russian, here's a link to the page about 'Lubitel' cameras in English.

http://www.sovietcams.com/index.php?-1637134886

There's a lot of info about the different versions of each type of Lubitel.

Edit: I've just clicked on the link but it isn't coming up. I don't know if I've not posted it correctly or it's just a slow connection.

Edit 2: I've just checked it again and it came up.
