LC-A turns 25! Happy birthday little camera!!

Interesting article about LOMO and Lomography:
http://www.wired.com/rawfile/2009/06/gallery-lomo/

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.

So the Lomographic society is going nuts with the 25th anniversary LC-A+ cameras. Here's a another one they just released:

Because the lenses made in Russia (but not by LOMO). ;)

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...

The leather cases are made in China.

The Minitar has no schematics.
