Lubitel Lubitel 2 Twin lens reflex camera (TLR)

For sale a splendid Lubitel 2 bi-ocular twin-lens reflex camera (TLR), produced by the legendary "Optique Mécanique de Léningrad" (LOMO). This iconic medium-format photographic instrument is a true piece of history of Soviet photography.

The camera has been meticulously tested in every respect: shutter, all shutter speeds, film advance, focusing, and even the self-timer work perfectly. Mechanically it is impeccable. Visually it is very clean and well cared for, showing only a few tiny superficial marks due to age and normal use, which give it the right and fascinating vintage character without compromising its functionality.

The lot is extremely complete and valuable for collectors, as it includes the original French-language instruction booklet, the original warranty certificate for the camera (which bears serial number 109272 and historical dates), a functioning tripod, the original brown leather case in excellent condition, and the original metal lens cap.
