Smena licence Jangtze river, made in Xibei NW-China. Serial 59000088 means this is a VERY early one, books say they were made around 1959 so possibilty is this is really number 88! Quality inside is awful, very rough finish around film opening. Chrome is very coarse and satin matt. Aeria in back around pressure plate where logo is looks very home made, like the mouldpart with GOMZ-logo was hammered away to be replaced with the chinese characters... Changjiang 1960

HuaShan 1961 -Smena licence Hua mountain, made in Sichuan. Now case is very bad leatherette. Camera itself is better, and has a film instruction from 1981 in the ERC-pocket, in chinese naturally. Very thin paper! But it has been used at least aroun 1980... A bit better and smenalike chromes, rear cover looks factory made now. Smells horrible inside, the hospital like bittersweet one that I almost forgot. Serial 60022426 and book says these were made around 1961.
