Kevs Lubitol

So I shot a roll of 320TX and tried really hard with the focussing procedure.
It looked capable of reasonably sharp shots despite the results from the travelling cam thread.
I did go quite

a few times, focussing > re-focussing > bogeyed, but they came out ok, not the sharpest but not bad for an old plastic box

^obligatory double exposure... :LOL:

incidentally, the Lubitol asked for a full English and clean sheets this morning....

Is that the Lubitol 166 model? I only asked because I remember coming across them second-hand when I worked in a camera shop many years ago. They were quite cheap as I remember and I'd never seen results from them.

To be fair, so did I. :shake:

I'm pretty sure the one I'm thinking is a 166-B, but it was a 6 x 6 format. They only sold for around £20 or thereabouts.

The 166-B looks pretty much the same as the 2, both these cameras are 6x6 on 120 film.
I wouldn't imagine they're very expensive, they're made of nowt but can take a nice picture.

By the way, thank you for showing the pictures. You are right, the pictures are very good for a relatively cheap camera.

Sorry, I was meant to add earlier that I was thinking of the price of the 166-B (£20-ish) as I understand this was the most basic model Lubitel made. I don't honestly know the difference between yours and the 166-B but chances are the one you have is worth a lot more.
