Joao Lopes Freitas has posted this on Zenit Camera Group, I thought I'd repost it here for some comments... I've never encountered a "Golden" Lubitel before.. is this some 1990s fantasy camera?
Hello people! They are original! I have seen some Smena 8 with the lens tube with the same finish. I regret to say that this is a chemical phenomenon occured due an error on prepairing the anodizing bath. As it still stands beautyful, pieces are still useful. That is all. regards LP
