^^ There is a trick to it using some tape. Mine is much easier to focus now. Look it up.
Does anyone else have a Lubitel 166 or similar? I shot a roll of Portra through mine last year and it came out beautifully. I haven't used it since, took it to Berlin, same film, same light conditions, etc and they came out really badly focused and the light all off. I was really surprised at myself but I've shot a different roll of film through it since and same thing happened. I'm struggling to think how it could have been set up wrongly this time or if I've managed to ruin the mechanics? (I never had the manual, I just figured it out myself)
