Catalog entry revision

In 1962 Smena producer GOMZ became LOOMP

(„Leningradskoje objedinenije optiko-mehanicheskich predprijatij“).

Need to mention, that LOOMP name as rule wasn‘ t used for camera markings and such cameras with LOOMP markings are quite rare. Only in 1965 Smena producer received permanent and very well-known name „LOMO“

(Leningradskoje optiko-mechanicheskoje objedinenije).

Smena-5 camera designed to use thermoplastic instead of bakelite.

Lens T-42 with GOMZ logo, serial number under shutter housing.

Strap lugs on body (few without lugs).

Sunshade reverses on lens to provide protection (few without screw to use the hood as protection).

Very seldom to meet camera.

In 1961 the price for a Smena-5 was 9 rubel.
