Hi, anyone tried to disassemble taking and viewing lenses of lubitel universal 166? I could not figure out how to do. Any ideas? Regards, |

I seem to remember there are four screws which retain the taking lens / shutter assembly from the rear inside the body. I found that if these were loosened, there was enough play to disengage / re-engage the gears and adjust the focussing - this seems to be a design feature. I did not have to do any more than this on mine, I guess if you remove the screws completely, the taking lens will come off. Hope this helps. |

I think the viewing doublet simply unscrews from its geared barrel. Can't remember if there were any stopscrews... |
