Wow Shocked! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

During years I was lucky to see only 3 of them. Viktor Suglob has 2 different versions, one more came for sale on Molotok just few months ago (unfortunately I was too late to buy one ...Tongue).

Only few hundreds of Elikon-2 were produced, so lucky you ... Smile

Best Regards,
Aidas

Juhani,

Indeed, you are very close to complete your great Elikon collection! And only few "common" cameras are still missing Smile ... Orion-35C, Elikon-1 and Elikon-5 Big smile. As far as I know, Viktor doesn't have Elikon-1 in his collection yet, so the question is still open.

Aidas

Zoom: this picture is again one of those that have been spread so around the internet that only a hnadful know where the origin is. If you insist I will delete it from my files?
Aidas: what is Elikon-5, as I have never seen anything about that anywhere? Or only a joke like Smena-13... And only place where I found Orion-35C mentioned was yours, yet no picture nor anything if it has been somewhere sometime?

Juhani,
If I remember correctly, Viktor Suglob was sending Christmas cards with picture of Elikon-5. The only thing I know it's somehow similar to Elikon-535 camera, but not the identical one. And I was lucky to hold the real Orion-35C in my very own hands, during my last stay in neighbour Minsk.

Passport show TY******-86
TY is Technicheskie Ysloviya(Technical Conditions), as I remember, and 86 is a year when those conditions was signed up; that I know on sure,
Does it mean that camera was developed in 1986 and did not produce until 1992?
