Here's an interesting Smena-1 that I just bought: this one is not in nether 1200 cameras book nor Aidas's Sovietcams.com catalog. It has the "double raised platform" logo like Aidas puts it but it has the metal frame counter unlike his PK1950 example here - http://www.sovietcams.com/index.php?673192461

and serial #231865.

Small but pleasant discovery of a new variant! [:)]

Cheers,

Hi Vlad,

A very nice discovery! I love the early Smena-1 cameras! Nice condition too. Maybe Aidas will add it to his site.

Regards, Bill

Thanks Bill! The more I look at these different Smenas on eBay, the more variants I find that are not cataloged.. It seems like that Aidas and Viktor only scratched the surface on these [:)]...

Vlad.
