This is a vintage Lomo Lubitel 2 twin-lens reflex (TLR) medium-format film camera, made in the USSR by GOMZ/LOMO between c.1954–1980. Designed for 120 film, it produces classic 6×6 cm square negatives and uses an entirely mechanical operation—no batteries required ⚙️.
The camera features the fixed T-22 75mm f/4.5 lens, manual focus, mechanical shutter (Bulb to ~1/250s), and a waist-level viewfinder typical of mid-century TLR design. It is in used vintage condition, showing scuffs, edge wear, and wear to the original case, but appears visually complete.
Film, accessories, filters, and tripods not included unless shown.
