Hi,

I'm just curious, what led you to believe this camera is Soviet?

Cheers,
Vlad

Hello,

I belive the writting on the front that says "OZO3". I'm just guessing, that's why I'm here, to find more about this little camera.

Best wishes.

Sorry, it's not Soviet, Cyrillic alphabet does not have a letter "Z".. your best bet is posting this on IDCC mailing list to see maybe someone knows anything about it..

Hello,

When I've started searching for this camera I also thought at this possibility. Unfortunately hadn't much luck with that either, "Mono" being a very generic word especially in photography. But I will start looking for it again more thoroughly, thank you for reminding me of that.

Best wishes.
