Hi,
let me show you front and back covers of Smena manual guide. Issued at 10.000 copies in 1939. I was thinking it's very hard to find prewar Smena itself, but it's 10 time harder to find authentic papers indeed. Who said that camera collectors are not naive? ...

do not be jealous ...better is being happy , these cameras are in friend's hands.
some collectors prefer secrets...and so it is not fun to talk about ;-) |

Hi Juhani,
I have to ask you: are you looking for a camera, or for a case? Just wanted to be sure ...
Best Regards,

Now we all DO know that you have a secret special way to get these!
A bit odd as at first it looks like a toy, but yet even the case was made. But I guess that time conditions were pretty poor in USSR?
Conratulations again, 2nd one for me please, 3rd not for Alain this time I guess...

Thanks for showing these Aidas! With your permission I will add these to catalog. This is along the lines of Fotokor cases, very similar material and construction - cheap and effective |
