I was given a Lubitel 2 a while back and was planning to get rid of it. I ran one roll of film through it and got hooked. Why I prefer it to the more advanced better made Yashica Mat G defies logic. Anyway, here are a few from the latest roll which was Kodak Tri-X 100, commercial dev and scan.
All the shots from that roll can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31364196@N04/sets/72157624379744462/
Best wishes, Kris.

Nicely done, love the detail and tones in these. The Lubitel seems to have
an adequate lens indeed. |

good shots and tones, worth of rescanning I think. There is a bit too much contrast and/or sharpening in these commercial scans I think.

Tri-X 100?
Love the look the kit gives. Triplet lens? Is the Lubitel a little more reliable than run-of-the-mill FEDs and Zorkis?

I like 2nd and 3rd for that crazy out of focus area  and for some spaciousness.

The original scans were very flat and the "black point" was about 1/3 along the histogram so I stretched them out to up the contrast and have probably lost a lot of the subtlety in the negatives in the process. I don't have a 120 compatible scanner so they will have to wait until I get a chance to use the scanner at work.
Thanks for the kind comments all.
BTW, I try a shoot wide open especially to make the most of the whacky bokeh! Not bad for a free camera.
Best wishes, Kris.

Very good rendition in terms of contrast, nice b&w as well, like the graveyard in the 2nd.

Impressive shots from a Lubitel 2. I have one too and there's something nice about their simplicity. 
3rd photo is my favorite.

I like the tractor shot and the industrial shot (the vignette is cool too), but I agree that there is a lot of contrast in those shots. That's not to say I don't like it, but it is noticeable.

It's the out of focus areas that give it the character. I agree about the contrast but the thing that really hits me are the compression fringes and jaggies on diagonal edges caused by severe sharpening. It's all a matter of taste, of course, and a lot of people don't seem to notice it at all.
They're nice compositions with subjects well chosen for black and white and the camera.

The sharpening issues are one problem with using commercial scans. I don't have the facility to do them myself. Although I could do them at work, I have not had time to try that yet.
