The SMENA is sold; the wonderful KALIMAR is sold
First up a Smena Symbol: Russian camera. All manual.
The jokers at Lomo are selling these for £95 but they go for £15 on ebay which is what I am asking. Mine is in perfect condition, has had three or four rolls through it. Collect N16 or can probably deliver central or East.
This is a gallery of pics taken with the Smena; I did not take the photos but they show you what you can achieve http://www.flickr.com/photos/antbrierley/sets/1597957/
Next up a
KALIMAR ACTION SHOT 16
This is a weird and wondeful camera that takes 16 shots at a go over two frames of 35mm film; either singly or as a series. So you can take 288 shots on one roll of film.
Brilliant for an action series or for a collection of random images or patterns. The lenses are surprisingly good, colors are bright and vivid. Takes one battery and needs 400 ISO film in bright light, 800 if it is duller. Measures 15x7x3 cm.
This is a rare camera. I bought it from the Lomo shop when it was in Rosbury Ave several years ago but they are no longer made and impossible to track down. I could not find another one for sale anywhere on the web but I have a feeling it would be much sought after on e-bay. If you like the Lomo supersampler type camera then you will love the Kalimar. Mine has had very light use and is in perfect condition.
PRICE IS £75
here is a link to shots taken with the Kalimar (not taken by me)
