The upper lens serves the viewing system, while the lower lens is used for taking photographs.
The front displays an attractive Lubitel 2 nameplate in contrasting silver-toned lettering, complemented by circular metal lens surrounds and engraved adjustment markings.
A folding top viewing hood adds to the camera’s authentic vintage character.
Original Soviet Manufacturing Markings

The accompanying black carrying case features a prominent LOMO emblem, making the set particularly attractive to collectors interested in Soviet photographic history.
These markings provide a meaningful connection to the development of photographic equipment during the Soviet period.

The Lubitel 2 belongs to the era when medium-format film photography was admired for its deliberate, hands-on approach to image-making.

Today, vintage Lubitel cameras are appreciated by collectors, photography enthusiasts and admirers of historic camera design.

Brass is actually an alloy, not a pure metal. It’s a combination of copper and zinc, and the proportions of these metals determine the colour and properties of the brass. Known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, brass has been used for centuries in everything from musical instruments to household items. Using brass utensils can impart a subtle metallic taste to food, enhancing its flavour profile.
