Hi guys !

I saw a strange camera; an Orion EE but with a lens like Vilia Auto.
I have never found relevant literature...

Someone here knows more ?

I'm pretty sure it's a transplant. I've seen it before.

The cost was so low (200 grivne = 7€) that I bought it.
The seller did not ship to Italy but fortunately I have a photographer friend in Ukraine who has bought for me and has already received it.
Soon (Covid-19 permitting) it will ship to me in Italy.
He has examined the camera well and assures me that nothing has been dismantled or transplanted. No screw has the slightest sign of tampering... [:0] [8)]

Sorry Vlad ... a question.

Orion EE = CdS meter with battery
Vilia Auto = Selenium meter, no nattery

If the lens it's transplant ... tha camera work ???
(the camera is not in my hands yet)

Hi Luigi, I'm sorry I am not sure, I guess it depends how good of a repairman it was [:D]. I've seen some pretty ingenious adaptations coming from former USSR. Like a Start with TTL meter built into the prism. So everything is possible. [:)]

Best regards,
Vlad
