Custom Hand-Painted Lubitel 166 | 120mm Medium Format Film Camera

This is a custom hand-painted Lubitel 166 medium format film camera (120mm). The camera is fully functional, with no mechanical issues — it’s ready to shoot and deliver the classic look that makes the Lubitel a cult favorite.

The exterior has been hand-painted, giving the camera a unique, one-of-a-kind appearance. Please note: the paintwork has some imperfections. As shown in the photos, there is slight paint bleeding on the sides and a few areas where the texture differs. These are cosmetic details and do not affect usability.

The camera body shows signs of wear consistent with age, purely aesthetic. The original light seals are still in place and may benefit from replacement depending on your shooting needs. Lenses are semi-clean and functional, though a more thorough cleaning is recommended for optimal performance.

This is a camera that’s been through a journey — and if you're curious, the full story is shared on my Instagram. Despite its quirks, it remains a solid, usable piece of gear.

The paint is sealed and durable for regular handling, though as with any custom finish, it’s best to avoid sharp objects or rough contact (zippers, keys, etc.) to preserve its look.
