Lubitel 166B & my first 120 mm













Wikipedia says...

" They are often considered toy cameras due to cheap price, bakelite and later plastic construction and low build quality. However the Lubitels use 120 film, feature Cooke triplet, all-glass lenses and shutter speeds can be set from Bulb to 1/250 of a second. Apertures vary from f/4.5 to f/22. These characteristics are closer to those of an amateur TLR of the fifties than a toy or disposable camera. They can achieve good results when the lens is stopped down but, as with any 3-elements lens, the results will be soft by today's standards at larger apertures."

I'd like to say thank you to Damian Chrobak. Thanks :)

p.s.

Here's antoher thing Wikipedia writes about Lubitel...

"Lubitel cameras are often used by art photographers or amateurs looking for a cheap introduction to medium format."
