BelOMO Etyud (Etude)
written by mcrstar on 2011-01-02 #gearEtyud -- this is a simple for use plastic camera. One of the few plastic 120 type cameras in the USSR of a 60's and 70's. Faded colors, angular body -- the soviet people know with this type of design. But shoot this camera is very nice.

Lubitel 166B: My Solid Soviet Companion
written by xxxanderrr on 2011-09-23 #gearEver since bought, the Lubitel 166B has been a reliable and serious friend and companion.

But it's just everything those cameras are not -- a serious camera for people who like to have full control of their shots.

It depends where you are from and maybe what political position you have, if you use the Ukrainian, Russian or International version of the second largest city of the Ukraine. And that depicts already the major conflict of the Ukraine.
