120 film: Loading a Lubitel 166B with Fomapan 200 and Ilford Delta HP5

[@steffenbjoern]

The light leaks left and right might be a result of the way you load the film. One should always care for the film being tight on its roll in order to avoid the layers letting light come through. It's my opinion that loading a 120 film really requires concentration and a concept that works fine for the specific camera. Regarding the Lubitel, I've seen some people loading the upper part first before rolling the film roll down and fixing it.

its my favorite camera now. I travel with lubitel 166B and Fuji X100

[@SebKettley]

I'd like to get my hands on a Yashica mat one day.

[@Azety93]

Sebastian Kettley it's a good one. But price became higher. Choose something not famous. Soviet cameras are doing a great job. I own a Pentacon Six TL. It's German made. East Germany. Very strong and very high quality. Kiev 60 is good too. I'm looking for a Kiev 88 now. It's a bad copy of Hasselblad but I like it

Amazing pics man! Love them! :D

[@Seele2015au]

Sebastian Kettley There's no "120mm" film, but "120" film; that's a three-digit Kodak code for film packaged in a specific way. For instance, "135" is 35mm perforated film rolled into a spool inside a cassette that needs rewinding.

Thank you for your review, I have recently bought two, one is an original Russian camera with Russian letters the other is a new oner with English letters.

If the inside of the camera is treated with a light-absorbing coating, it will be even better!

[@deejaesir]

Great video!! Got mines today! That red meter with the "1" showing, what happens if you leave it on there n don't close the window ?

[@basedmax9029]

That frame will tarnish over time if the window is not closed. It can happen in as little as a few minutes so try to keep that window closed when you can. My Kodak Brownie which does not have a cover for it's red window, I usually cover it with electrical tape.

@@basedmax9029 Thank you! Have a bless day! Keep shootin film!!! 🎞️🎞️🎞️

I know the whole retro lomo thing means light leaks are now somehow cool, but doesn't this thing need light seals or something? looks very leaky.

[@adnaloy]

Hello, how do you know how many photos you have taken and if you have passed the frame correctly?

[@SebKettley]

If you look at 2:49, there's a little film advancement window which shows you which frame you're on. So when you take your photo and you're advancing the film to the next photo you need to look through that window until the next number pops up.

[@photomaster1]

Well done thank you...

[@sabi57]

is it good for portraits?

[@flawlessxyz]

How do you export photos to PC?

[@SebKettley]

Flawless I use a flatbed scanner at home with negatives frames after I get the first back from my lab.

[@flawlessxyz]

Ah, so that one more thing to pay... I have 166B but I never used it, I guess I'll have to go to nearest store to get pictures out of my camera.

[@basedmax9029]

​@@flawlessxyzit'll cost about 100 usd total to get a Patterson tank, monobath, a dark bag and maybe a scanner. You only need the first three to develop black and white film, monobath is 24usd. Patterson tanks are between 15 and 30, and dark bags vary but are normally another 20. Not as expensive as it seems.

[@НаильШарапов-ч7х]

What aperture was used?

[@basedmax9029]

On the indoor and night shots, safe to assume the most open it could go as well as a slow shutter speed.

[@vytautemorkute8717]

Could you please help me by telling how to remove the film when you're done?

[@НаильШарапов-ч7х]

When the film runs out, turn the film feed wheel until you hear the silk. This paper record jumped off the feed spool. Twist twice so that the tip wraps around the take-up reel. Open the camera, extend the groove of the lock, remove the film, lick the adhesive tape with your tongue and stick it.

[@jadeutaiwan8092]

How to take a film off from this camera?

[@IanSelvaraj]

You need to fully transfer the film from the original spool on the bottom to the new spool on the top. The film will now be completely swapped to the new spool. Just keep turning the film advance knob until there's no more film moving through the camera. Usually you can tell by watching the film advance window (small clear red circle on the back of the camera).

Это не настоящий Lubitel LOMO, это китайская подделка. Вам следует камеру отъюстировать и убрать засветку из-под крышки. И будет вам счастье. Удачи!

Le + n'est pas un Lubitel mais un Lomography, le dernier produis n'est pas le B mais le U , ne pas confondre le U+ de Lomography avec le U de Lubitel et le U+ n'est vraiment pas bon marcher prix actuel 299 euro !!!!!
