When my parents lived in Russia they bought this camera, a cheap plastic CMEHA Smena. It leaks light, is impossible to gauge how many photos are left on the reel and is awkward to use. I love it, and took it out to the woods. Really love the double exposures and errors it creates...
Beautiful pictures !!
ReplyDeleteI love this camera too ! It's a funny akward camera that takes razor sharp pictures... Mine doesn't have any light leaks. I find it hard to compose since the viewfinder is useless !
Have alook at those ones here :

mmm yeah those photos on the beach are gorgeous! Yeah composition is hard but I quite like the random quality of it.
ReplyDeleteIm not sure if it leaks or if because I had trouble taking the film out...
