The successor of Vilia-Auto camera. Initially introduced in early seventies as Vilia-E or Vilia Elektro. Allthough in appearance similar to its predecessor, the Elektro has a cds cell and more speeds. It even looks a little better. Siluet-Elektro has an aperture priority program (like the Lomo and the Zenit-Automat).
