Half frame Camera with detachable lens?

Hi guys :)

Since quite a while I own a Industar 69 Lens which I use on my Fujifilm Camera.
I love this little thing. I can use a M39 Adapter which makes the combination super thin and the photos are just great.

Are there any other Half frame Cameras with detachable lenses? I´ve seen quite a lot half frame Cameras in the past weeks like Agfa, Kodak or others, but non of them had detachable lenses....

By the way I'm looking for an aricle by Luigi Crescenzi published in "Classic Camera International", issue #10, May 1999. He wrote about someone called Vadim living in Moscow then and shows some of the cameras made/modified by him. If anybody could send me a copy of this article I would be very happy. Thanks in advance.

Best wishes - Guido

I was searching for this 18x24 FSU camera, made from a Zorki, in my listings. But you were faster, Guido!
A very well made camera, as it seems.
There had been too some very rare Nikon, Alpa or SLR Minolta in half format, each one with its special bayonet. But just for history: I never had one of these in hands...

Chaika also has detachable lens, but only one lens exists.
Robot isn't a true half frame - square format, but a nice system.
Univex Mercury - but uses special 35 mm film.
