"Iskra-2" Model group-1 Issue-2. 1964 The lot presents an ultra rare camera, of which, according to official data from the plant, only 6118 units were produced in total and in total of three varieties and modifications. With simple mathematics, 6118/3 = 2039 is an approximate figure of how many of this particular variety out of three were produced. In the last photo you can see a screenshot from the official website, which shows the total number of produced Iskra-2 of all varieties and modifications.. Such cameras are found once every 100 years)) or are NEVER encountered by a collector. Functionality: the lens and viewfinder lenses are clean, viewfinder visibility is good - without distortion. The rangefinder is clean and fully functional. Focusing and aperture operation is smooth and pleasant. The diaphragm blades are dry and free of excess lubrication. The shutter handles the entire range of shutter speeds perfectly, but the shutter is released only when the lever near the lens is pressed; the shutter button on the turret cannot be pressed, it is jammed and the release does not occur when it is pressed. The exposure meter responds to light and is operational. The sync contact was not checked due to the lack of a flash. The diameter of the light flux through the lens cannot be adjusted using the petals (light service required). In some places it is necessary to glue artificial leather (shown in the photo). Considering all of the above, the camera is in excellent collectible condition, but in order to take photographs it is necessary to show it to a specialist for preventive maintenance.
