GOMZ, the Leningrad optical-mechanical works, was later reorganized as LOMO, which is why both names appear in connection with this camera. Today early Smena models are appreciated for their straightforward design and their place in the history of Soviet photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Soviet camera is a good fit for collectors of Soviet vintage cameras, a shelf display of USSR optics, or a restoration project for someone who wants to bring an early Smena back to shooting film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
