As much as I love my digital camera, what did we do without them besides waste an awful lot of film? The Lomography Company brings back something you probably thought went the way of the eight-track tape, the Lubitel 166+ camera.
This remake of an old '70s classic still retains its old-fashioned appearance while providing a few upgrades for modern sensibilities. This iteration of the Lubitel 166+ allows full manual operation using 120 or 35mm film, a panorama option, viewfinder, and zone focus.
