I have just added this Signal Lamp camera to the Wiki Catalog.

I suspect that like the Cigarette Pack cameras, it may have been produced for collectors rather than the security services. I am not at all sure that Kiev/-Vega/-30 cameras were ever used for spying or surveillance. What do you think?

Hello David,
as far as I know those torches have been produced in Poland for collectors.

My question is how it works? How can you set focus, revind, make picure? What battery is for and what second lamp is for?
