Smena
The body of the firsts Smenas is made of bakelite, it's hard to find one in good condition. This one is only broken on part of the hinge, it could be possible to use it. I had to rebuild the metal distance index and stop tab (it shows on the photo!), While this I repainted the black of the iris value figures.
The shutter cocking is separated from the film advance, the button on the top is used to unlock advance to be able to go to the next frame (beware of overlays and blank images!).

Smena, bought on eBay june 14th, 2012, 8€+12€shipping.

This one is in very bad condition, the light passes at the foot of the body, the view counter is unreadable. But optics and shutter are good. Only interest: the back door shows the MMZ logo, this would thus be one of the first Belarusian Smenas (the lenses still wore the GOMZ logo)
