And Lomographic society had released a special edition LC-A+ commemorating 25 years of LC-A.

So, are the new 25th Anniversary models made in China or refurbished Russian models? I don't see the "Made In China" writing on the lens cover.

All LC-A+ are made in China. Mine has "Made in China" stamped on the bottom.

Hello Zoom!

Don't tell me now that KMZ makes them! I guess if you make Horizon Kompakt (or is it also partially made in China?) for Lomographic society it's not that surprising...
