At present the camera can be seen on molotok.ru at
http://molotok.ru/show_item.php?item=5246284488
The knob looks crude, I think it is a non-factory modification.
This seller is in Nizhny Novgorod and does not send abroad.
A picture from the interior looks normal:

Changing subject - on Gomz Sport lenses:
Sovietcams.com lists a so called Technical Sport, PK0640 at:
http://www.sovietcams.com/index.php?-1465305895
or
http://www.ussrcameras.ru/?rp=1&action=tovar&tovar_category=26&id=75
This body has an externally completely different Industar-10 lens, made by Gomz.

Well, I found the same design but made by Komz (Kazan) and just ordered it. Images below. It has something in common with the Barbus-2" 2.5/28mm lens.
Any information available on this strange, so called "technical" lens?

Thanks Luiz,
didn't see this before and didn't know that the shutter curtain is moving up and down on the Sport. Now the special shape of the body makes sense.
Do you believe that they threw many Sports away during the war because they were only interested to burn the wooden boxes?

Well, Lenny, I think somebody read your thoughts and did a really thorough job - look at what I found for sale in China:

(image from the Chinese equivalent to ebay, Taobao.com, don't know what their usage policies are)

The seller never mentions the modification, so the work must be pretty good and look "natural" to somebody not familiar with the Sport.

The asking price is ridiculously high, 30.0000 yuan :)
If this was a pre-war factory modification, then it is a historical camera, but it looks like the parts have Soviet post-war aesthetics borrowed from the looks of pre-war Contax II and III.

Found the most interesting variant for sale at molotok.ru,
it has a rewind knob!!!!


A rewind knob to use a normal film-cartridge? Maybe a modification not from the GOMZ factory. Then the drum with the teeth which sets the frames on the film must be unlocked. Is it needed to shoot the rest of the film frame for frame on normal Sports if you want to change the film?

Hello,

That becomes a bit entangled and difficult to follow, I think.

It would be probably interesting to open separate threads to discuss specially about a camera.

For example, about this GOMZ Sport, a very original camera which would need that...

Only my twopence. Wink

Jacques.

A sure proposal that this is a post war modification, (and a recent one!)is the use of alluminum in the knob manufcture.
This was not a common practice in pre-war days, Commonly they use nickeled or chromed brass.
Allluminum usage was a prement war need and câmeras were largely made using such materials after the war.

These Sports modified with a re-winder knob seem to be pretty common, and each one that I've seen had different details. So probably all non factory, but with varying degrees of sophistication. The camera for sale on Taobao.com seems to be so far the best engineered, although it was impossible to see the interior.

I found another modified Sport in the Ukraine, in this case we can see the modified interior, still not as well made as the Taobao Sport.

Phantastic this "Eksponometr"!
A perfect reproduction of the German Tempi-Phot
proving once again the German-Russian cooperation from the
Rapallo Treat!
Although the scale in H&D (English Standard)
