GOMZ-LOMO PLANT, 1950-1960s
SMENA RANGEFINDER FOR SOVIET SMENA 35mm CAMERAS
...and may be for other cameras too
ITEM'S CONDITION: EXCELLENT
The device was made in 1950-1960s years, looks gently used and stored in good environment conditions... just examine item's photos please.
All functions available, metering looks correct, I tested it both for 1m and for infinity distance.
Minor vertical non-overlapping is presented at focusing zone, it will not impact on distance metering accuracy.

- Listing Summary
- Smena camera is much smaller than for example Zorki or Zenit and was very inexpensive in Soviet terms, about 1/10-1/20 of usual Soviet monthly wage. But sometimes people can't to determine the distance without special device, it is very significant for shootings with fully opened aperture. Only external rangefinder can help in that situation!
