Or may be somebody from this forum is a proud new owner of this camera? We want to see more pictures then!

Yea this is the same one Aidas just bought, the early Smena 6.

The buyer is from Russia, seller has 0-feedback and 305 USD for a Smena.
Even I think this is totally insane...

Hi,

I was intended to buy this camera, but the price ... [:D] Just for comparison, I have paid appr. USD11 for my early Smena-6 locally. Need to mention, what next day I came back to the seller with heavy bottle of Scottish Whisky ... [:D]

Best Regards,
Aidas

Kind day, friends and colleague!
You study Russian cameras, but do not know wide Russian soul [:p].
Let's check up, whether there are in Ukraine decent people [:D].
Yours faithfully.

dmzi,

Congratulations on this great camera! ... I start feeling wide russian soul, while looking at the camera prices in Molotok ... [:D]

Best Regards,
Aidas

Aidas!
Be not afflicted, collecting - expensive pleasure..[;)]
All good, dmzi

Smena for $300+ looks like a bargain .... [:)]

With all these prices I think the good old days of cheap Russian cameras are coming to an end... now we'll have to pay real prices [:)]. Good for all of us who already own bunch of rare stuff I guess.

Hello!

...this camera is amazing, while made from plastic totally ... [:)]. Something similar I was looking in furniture shops with plastic cameras on the shelfs ... [:D] Next time I have to be more attentive, may be Fed 670 among them ...

But seriously, this item is real historical show-piece and lucky guy, who will possess it soon ...

Best Regards,
Aidas

A true Ikea camera? [:D]
