hmmmmm !!???
first of all ...good news to see you again Luiz ...
So...a KMZ logo on a LOMO camera ???
isn't it an incongruity , in that time ???
may be a new fantasy rebadging like black, blue labels etc...easy to make whith silk screen for the inexperienced collector's market ?

that's just my opinion ...anyway Iwill be happy id I found such camera.
Alain

Interesting but I think the lense lable is a dead giveaway. Not a hard thing to do as Alain says with silk screen. Don

ZORKIE'S Survive

Thanks Alain by the wellcome.
I think there are many other means to do such sticks.
The simple Paint program built into any Windows program is the easiest way to do such kind of alterations.

By the way...I am on the way to ssemble a "Amator" and "AmatorII" front plate on old lubitel 1 and 2.
It will be hard to see if originals or not ( I used the same handcraft than the forged "Sputnick II" I bought in Moscow photo website , in the past.... isn't it Bill ?)
will show you soon pictures.
Alain

hi Luiz....
do you remember I still hunt for zenit "Pro" from Brazil ?

in fact not hurry

Hello Allain
Inthe mean time I did see two 12 PRO in used shops.
They are asking around 150 Reais which is around 60 dollars.
I do nor know they are working properly. At a distance they are great!. Shipping costs are too high from Brazil (several times the cost you would pay for the camera. what can I do?
Best Regards
LP
Note: the 12 pro are different one is forged "industria Brasileira" the other don't. One have Helios 6 from Jupiter the other Helios 5 from Vilieika

Hi Alain,
I'm thinking that no more Sputnik-2 cameras have been offered since ours. So, maybe I will go back and look at my notes and the camera itself. Sometimes when I havn't looked at something like that for a long time, then I get another idea when I go back to look! But ... so far, I think they are fakes!

Regards, Bill

In order to mantain a "suspense" What about a Sputnik 3? A Stereo-Panorama whith three shutters like some old stereo cameras?
LP

Or ... how about a Sputnik-4DC .... a Sputnik with stereo-panorama capabilities, three shutters, but with a digital sensor ("DC" stands for "Digital Camera"). Luiz ... please make us one!

Regards, Bill

dear Luiz...
thanks for good hunt !!
I am interested by both cameras.
what will be shipping cost to France now ?
Alain

Hi Bill...
remember there was a third one sold by Moscow foto....
so to be sure it is a fake : just unscrew the front lenses ring and remove the front lense plate : you will see it is Magnesiuml printing plate (as my friends did it in the past )
I use the same process for my "AMATOR" just after saw it on ebay and duplicated in ADobe (it was a hard work because no exact letters model like that)


and here is original:








hmmmm.... just at time I see I have to change screws...( these I used are for Amator II !!!!

Luiz...
here is another zenit pro:

please tell me your opinion ...

Alain:
1)I went to one of the shops having the camera the camera is istill there but the shop is closing. the owner died and his son dicided to close. he now according tho his neighbour eventually goes there, but I will try to get it. the camera is apparently perfect but now I noted that it lacks the synchro front contact -No marter to be repaired.-
2 the second from Mercado livre is very cheap but seems horrible!
I believe that can be also done a cosmeticas via the marvelous a silicone. If you wasnt I can boy it for you.
Be quick in your answer.

Or ... how about a Sputnik-4DC .... a Sputnik with stereo-panorama capabilities, three shutters, but with a digital sensor ("DC" stands for "Digital Camera"). Luiz ... please make us one!
