Hey youtube!
Check out my newest video. A quick review of the Praktica LB2 35mm camera. Please leave a comment if you have more questions or if you have a 35mm you'd recommend for a new film photographer.
In short, this camera is beginner grade, the lenses made for it are cheap, it takes awesome pictures, and is considered super underrated.
Thanks for watching!!

    Thanks! Didn't realize how easy it is to take this camera apart and clean it. I have a roll of B&W in camera now, will clean it after this roll. Hoping to have better luck with the photos than you had. If I'm not happy with results will probably look for a Yashica Mat TLR. Thanks again!!

    Your pictures might be soft because you got the lens out of adjustment when you removed the focusing dial. You need to find infinity focus by focusing on a distant object with a ground glass at the film plane and reset the dial. The Kodar lens on the Duaflex is a nice little triplet anastigmat that is decently sharp. Kodak actually made a couple of "real" TLRs, but the Kodak Reflex listed at $100, while the Duaflex was $17.25. The lens on the Reflex isn't a tessar. It's a completely different design with four elements in four air-spaced groups. A tessar has four elements but in three air-spaced groups. The rear group of a tessar is formed of two elements cemented together. Duaflexes are also prone to light leaks if the hinge gets sprung and you need to tape up the camera with black tape. There isn't any foam. I've never had trouble with the little red window.

    I have this exact camera and my pictures are all coming out blurry. For your lens, I saw you twisting the lens itself, is the lens supposed to twist too, or just the focusing knob? I'm wondering if my lens is gunked up and stuck and might need to be finessed a bit.

    • @rawcutsshots9304
      @rawcutsshots9304 2 роки тому

      Hi, I twisted the lens in there because I accidentally moved it from its original seated spot. The focusing knob pushes the lens forward and back. I didn’t try portraits but best results were landscapes. I’d say twist the focus know to see if it actually moves then try wiping the lens a little with a non-alcohol solution and try again. Best of luck

    @mkshffr4936 2 роки тому

    Nuts. I was hoping to get a good look at the shutter and flash timing mechanism. I would guess most light leaks are from deteriorating seals but you can easily rig up a Velcro cover for the red lens or even a bit of electrical tape as a flap to cover it except when winding.

      Yea I didn’t think to mess with that bit since it was one of my first restores. Also fair point, I now replace the old foam in cameras and check for light leaks. Thanks for watching

      Hi, that’s awesome. You don’t have to strip it down to cleanse it up. I recommended lightly blowing a little canned air inside to remove the dust and wipe the dusty parts outside with a qtip. Then wipe the lenses with a microfiber cloth. Let me know how it turns out 🙂

      @Raw Cuts & Shots thanks for reply what I should have said was your initial cuts prior to gluing, I did not see you plane the surface of the wood. You are correct you did plane AFTER glue up. It looked like raw lumber unsurfaced on all sides.

      Hi, most of the older TLR cameras (if they are completely mechanical) can still be used no matter the age. In some cases a spring can rust and should be replaced, or the leathers wear down and can also be replaced. Great question, thanks for watching.

    These were made as a pseudo-TLR during the 1940s-1950s TLR craze. The rolleiflex was very popular, but largely inaccessible due to price. This was kodak's attempt to cash in with something that looked like a TLR, but was in actuality a box camera with limited manual functions (aperture and zone focus) Kodak did make a proper TLR, the Kodak reflex and reflex II. It was $175 new in the late 40s and early 50s, and has a very capable anastar lens of tessar design.
