Belomo Chaika II Half Frame Camera

I like half frame photos due to Diana mini, and this old Russian camera - Chaika II is a birthday gift from my overseas friend.

Saving up on film for a rainy day? Penny pinching on film during these times is easy with the 72 shot Half Frame wonder!

Be Lomo - Chaika II

Chaika II was produced by the Belomo factory in Belarus (then in the USSR) between 1967 and 1972. Chaika means “seagull”. It has the same camera body as the original, but with several minor changes.

Be Lomo Chajka II Half-Frame camera

This is a half-frame camera, 28mm (f2.8-16.0) focusing lens. Close focusing to 3 feet. PC contact, cable release connection and tripod socket. Exposure is strictly manual with no built-in meter or exposure guide. The shutter release button is on the front of the camera. It had a nice little film speed reminder on the bottom of the camera, but some people are confused by this and think that the camera has some sort of built-in meter! Despite its proto-typical flaws, it is a well-made camera.
