90 francs for a Smena-8 in 1965 sounds expensive when a Smena-6 was 13,5 rubel in 1961. Am I right?

Lenny,
don't forget, that all prices in rubels were adopted for domestic market. The minimum salary in 1961 was 70 rubles.
You cannot compare these prices with the prices for export models for the Western Europe.

USSR had a very different economy, and most prices were unreal.

Best regards,

Maybe something wrong here. I don't know french but "4 voyages gratuits" should mean you get a free vacation when you buy a Smena. Maybe the Beatles won these 4 vacations and then made a song "Back in the USSR" and were singing how hot Ukraine girls are.

you could win the journey, when you had bought the camera and sent 2 photos taken with it to a contest. by the way: 90 francs were about 18$ in those days.
