A very good example of the Lubitel 2 — the iconic Soviet medium format twin-lens reflex camera produced at the LOMO plant in Leningrad between 1955 and 1979. The Lubitel (meaning “amateur” in Russian) was designed to bring medium format photography to the masses, and its long production run is a testament to its enduring practicality and appeal. This example is in very good condition with a bright viewfinder, clean optics, and fully working mechanics — ready to shoot on 120 film.

The Lubitel 2 improved on its predecessor by adding a self-timer and flash synchronisation, making it a more versatile all-round camera. Today the Lubitel is much loved in the lo-fi and Lomography communities for its characterful rendering, soft edges, and the meditative quality of waist-level medium format shooting.

Condition

  • Body: Very good — a few minor surface marks, hard to see.
  • Viewfinder: Bright and clear.
  • Lens: Good — small speck of dust, no fungus.
  • Shutter: Working.
  • Winding knob: Working.

Provenance & Specification

  • Maker: LOMO (Leningradskoye Optiko-Mekhanicheskoye Obyedineniye), Leningrad, USSR — the celebrated Soviet optical and camera manufacturer whose name became synonymous with the lo-fi photography movement. The LOMO plant produced cameras, optical instruments, and military optics throughout the Soviet era.
  • Model: Lubitel 2 — produced 1955–1979.
  • Format: 120 roll film, 6×6cm square exposures — 12 frames per roll.
  • Features: Self-timer, flash synchronisation, waist-level TLR viewfinder.
  • Appeal: An affordable, characterful, and genuinely usable Soviet medium format TLR — beloved by Lomography enthusiasts, film photography beginners stepping up to medium format, and collectors of Soviet photographic equipment. A wonderful display piece and a capable creative tool.
