Hello,

today I saw, that there´s an engraving in my Ekran-Camera. I think, its cyrillic and russian. So I cant read it. Would be nice, if somebody could translate it.

Thank you very much.

Hi Michl,

I think this is the Russian for 'Hire' followed by its hire number.
This is interesting, as I hadn't realised that there was any hiring facility for cameras in the USSR.

Yea it's a rental. There were quite a few rental facilities in USSR.
