LOMO LC-A, vintage Soviet scale-focus camera
with stationary Minitar-1 2.8/32 lens, 35 mm
Leningrad Optical Mechanical Association (LOMO), Russia

Sold as not working. Rear part is blocked and cannot be opened (it seems that previous owner glued leatherette and dropped glue inside the lock). 

Otherwise ok. Lens is clear and does not have any scratches, dust or fungus, viewfinder has dirt at the edges. With inserted batteries shutter works properly, LEDs are working. Arrow in the viewfinder does not move along the symbol scale when focusing lens. One screwbolt is missing on the front. Body has signs of age. Rear part cover has a backlash. Batteries are not included.

This is the Soviet scale-focus camera with automatic exposure control made at LOMO since 1983 till 1991 (produced in small lots till nowadays). Thanks to this camera a new trend "lomography" appeared. This is the first Soviet compact camera without case. Camera was based on Japanese "Cosina CX-2".
