Re: old cameras and personal film speed
Yup, spending $60 on a CLA for a $40 Lubitel is....... well you know. So,
there is another Lubitel user here! Great little piece of plastic. I liked
mine so much I ripped out the taking lens and put a zone plate into it.
Great fun with color film. Loud, almost psychedelic, prints. Old and funky
cameras can lead us into some interesting images.
