Versandnformation
A very rare special version of the Leningrad camera, produced in 24×24 mm format and finished in black paint without covering. Simplified compared to standard production models, it lacks viewfinder and rangefinder and is reduced to essential functions.
Equipped with the characteristic clockwork motor drive for up to approx. 45 exposures, and supplied with an Industar 4.2 cm lens. Such versions were produced in very small numbers for Soviet police (“Militia”) and KGB, and were never intended for civilian distribution.
Only very few examples are known today. The camera is in clean, fully working condition, complete with lens no.7810.
A similar example is illustrated in Jean Loup Princelle, The Authentic Guide to Russian and Soviet Cameras, second edition, p. 60.
