About Lubitel 2

This is a group for the LOMO Lubitel 2. This is the unsung sister camera of the Lubitel +166 made famous in recent times by The Lomographic Society - however the Lubitel 2 has its own charm and beauty, and remains undiscovered by many!

The Lubitel 2 label covers the following Lubitel cameras (renamed for exportation) -

Kalimar TLR100
Спутник (Sputnik)
Amatör-II
Global-676

The word "Lubitel" ("amateur" in English) was a twin-lens reflex medium format film camera issued by "Leningrad Optics & Mechanics Union" (LOMO). All of the Lubitel cameras were based on the "Voigtländer Brillant" - a German pre-war TLR camera.

After several previous models, the "Lubitel – 2" was issued from 1955 to 1979. The Lubitel has a f4,5 - 75mm Triplet-22 lens (abbr. T – 22) consisting of 3 glasses. The lens can focus from 1,3m.

The Lubitel has a plastic body, and weighs just 570g. Because of this and some simple mechanics, the Lubitel originally sold quite cheaply making it very popular among young photographers who wanted to learn photography while still creating high-quality images.
