Hello :)
In the early 70′s, at a time when Western countries filled their cameras with decadent electronic gizmos, the glorious Soviet Union decided to offer its heroic workers a tool to put their natural creativity at the service of the Party and to take pictures of their holidays at Novosibirsk. The Lomo Smena 8M was born.
Made of plastic except for the aluminum lens and shutter assembly, the Smena 8M is very light. The lens is a coated 40 mm f/4 T-43 triplet. The shutter gives speeds from 1/15 s to 1/250 s with flash sync at all speeds, possibly the only remarkable feature of this camera. The very unaccurate viewfinder is a clear frame without lens. Focusing is unaided.
The Smena 8M was made from 1970 to 1993.
