Leningrad 8 light meter holder for Lubitel 166 120 camera

thingiverse

Being constantly frustrated with having to hold both Leningrad 8 light meter and my strapless Lubitel 166 Olympic edition during changing light conditions, I had an epiphany. This is a holder that secures your Leningrad 8 light meter firmly in place and attaches to your Lubitel 166 or other cameras with a hotshoe for effortless metering. No longer will a dead light meter on a camera obstruct you from capturing your subjects. Check out this informative Youtube video for more details: https://youtu.be/iA3QwY7zSx4 There are three files attached. One is a separate 90 degree hot shoe adapter that can be used on any camera to offset the hotshoe (now coldshoe since it no longer has contacts) 90 degrees. Perfect for mounting your GoPro on your Lubitel. The second file is the light meter holder with a straight hotshoe adapter allowing you to mount it to any camera with a hot or cold shoe. The third file is an integrated 90 degree adapter into the light meter holder for a one-piece unit specifically designed for the Lubitel 166. [Note: the 90 degree adapter and the light meter holder may be slightly tight or too loose depending on your settings. I had to adjust my settings three times to get them just right. Trial and error was unfortunately necessary.] The best way to print this that I have found is standing vertically straight up and using supports. Brim may be required depending on your printer and surface. The sky's the limit now. I've happily shot over 3 seamless rolls of 120 film in my Lubitel without any aggravating issues like before. You can almost use the Lubitel for street photography now.
