Produced: 1967-1972

Name: „Чайка-2“

Producer: MMZ Belomo

Frame size: 18×24.

Lens: Industar-69 2.8/28.

Shutter: 1/30s, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250s + B.

Quantity: ±1.250.000 units.

I bought this used camera on e-bay for about $ 44.00 including the shipment from Ukraine to Brazil. It is in optimal conditions of use despite the counter not be working. It is a compact camera, a little heavy for its size. I had a little difficulty with the aperture and some of the pictures I made were over-exposed. I used a Kodak Elitechrome film (36 exp.) and I did 80 shots with this lovely half-frame camera.
