Description:
The Lubitel 2 was made in great numbers
by the Leningrad GOMZ (later LOMO) factory. More than
two million were produced between 1954 and 1980. There
are versions with a cyrillic name plate or with one in latin
script as the one shown, and it was rebadged for various
other markets as Kalimar TLR100, Amatör II and Global
676[1]. It was also produced as a stereo version and sold as
the ??????? (Sputnik). The camera body is made of
plastic, possibly bakelite. The waist level finder and focusing rings are made of metal. These cameras were delivered
with a case and strap made of artificial leather. There is a
stepless aperture scale under the taking lens with apertures from 4.5 to 22. Winding the film is done by a black
knob on the right side of the camera. This does not cock
the shutter. The Lubitel has a LOMO T-22 75/4.5 taking
lens. It is actually a little wider than the normal 80mm
medium format standard lens. The shutter is cocked with a
red-dotted lever. The aperture and the shutter button are
all positioned around the taking lens. The Lubitel-2 has no
framecounter. When you turn the knob in the direction of
the little white arrow, frame numbers on the back of the
120 film become visible through the little red window
collapsible.
