Vintage camera Ljubitel
Vintage camera Ljubitel-166 – a twin-lens reflection of Soviet photographic dreams
"Ljubitel" means “amateur” or “lover” in Russian — and this camera was made for those who loved photography in its purest, most honest form.
Built in the late 1970s and early 1980s in Leningrad, the Ljubitel-166 offers medium format square shots on 120 film. With a ground-glass top viewfinder, manual focus, and a 75mm f/4.5 lens, this camera invites you to slow down and shoot with intention.
This particular piece carries the patina of time with grace. The shutter fires, the aperture shifts, and the lens is ready — whether for image-making or as a timeless artifact.
Ljubitel is more than a camera. It is a memory machine from a world where every frame mattered. A gift for those who find beauty in slowness and nostalgia.
Quite common type of Lubitel camera Любитель T-22 F-7,5 cm 1: 4,5 #53019948.
The camera’s serial number is 53019948, which might suggest the year 1953 at first glance. However, the Ljubitel-166 was not introduced until 1976, so this number does not reflect the production year. LOMO serials from this era are not always date-based. Based on design and lens type, this camera was most likely produced between 1977 and 1981.
