Smena Symbol 

• 1971 
• Gomz/Lomo 
• Zoekercamera kleinbeeld 
• Soviet Union 

This 'Smena Symbol' is a 35mm camera that is largely made of plastic. It was produced between 1971 and 1991 at the Russian 'Lomo' factory in Leningrad, (now St. Petersburg). More than 4 million 'Smena Symbols' were sold during a 20-year production run. Although the simple device feels like a toy in your hands, the Smena Symbol - in combination of five apertures (4 to 16) and five shutter speeds (1/15 to 1/250 sec. - still offers a surprising number of photographic possibilities.
