I made a purchase a couple of days ago, an old Russian Lubitel Type 1c camera. I bought it from a antique camera store between Můstek and Národní Třída metro stops. It was only 180 Kč which equals out to about $16.50 US. It came with a old looking camera case and instructions on how to use it! Original from 1955! There is even some old Russian writing in it that I have no clue what it means. It also came with an old light meter that is in Czech! I love it! After some fiddling with it, I found out that on the side there is a little door that swivels out of the way to reveal a small compartment for storing lenses. And to my surprise there was a yellow lens in it! Pretty cool! I found out that Lubitel in Russian means Lover. I Lubitel this camera! I have yet to get some film for it to see how the pictures turn out, but I plan on it soon!
