This is one of the first models, the manufacturer is still called GOMZ before becoming LOMO in 1965. The lens is excellent, the cocking of the central shutter is independent of the film advance and allows double exposures. Irina sold ones to Japanese buyers, who used it in high mountains because the shutter still works perfectly at -40 ° C!

Smena 6, provided by Irina in a batch of 16 cameras, delivered on november 19th, 2009
There is no rewind knob planned on this model, you must use a standard cassette (spool mounted upside down) as a take-up spool, and cut the film at the end (my alternative: take the film out and rewind it in darkroom). On the Smena-8, a rewind button will be added, and the cast changed to allow use of a bare spool.(move your mouse over image)
