Hello to all,

I'm new of this forum, I need help to identify a camera that I have bought recently, I think that it is an home made or modified camera, because has a single knob to rewind the film and two supports for a support belt, has written lubitel 2 and lacks the bar of union of the two objectives .

Thans for your help.

Best regards

Piercarlo from Italy

Hello Piercarlo,

Looks like someone switched the nameplates on this Sputnik. I think I have the missing pieces in my collection: [:D] [:D]

O.K. , We could exchange our labels and for the name would be in place :D, but it remains the strangeness of the single knob to rewind the film and of the two supports for a belt....

Best regards

Hi Luiz,

thanks for your opinion, but if it was so, who has made this camera?
There is no trace of a Sputnik camera vith this three abnormal features.

that's very strange, it's almost someone fused 2 lubitel cameras and made a Sputnik out of them... very interesting..
