Russian Electros?

[RichardS]

Is anyone familiar with a Russian version of a Yashica Electro? What is supposed to be one is being offered on eBay at http://cgi.ebay.com/Elektra-112-Ran...543008980QQcategoryZ15234QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The picture of it shows the red and yellow metering lights on the top. I never knew there was such a think and wondered if it was a legitimate FSU camera.

Take a look at Nathan Dayton's Commie Cameras Website:

look under Soviet - electronic cameras.

There's the Fed Micron in the all-electronic RF (Minolta Hi-Matic style)

Wow, that actually looks pretty neat... I've never used a Minolta Hi-Matic, but it does remind me of my GSN, but improvised a bit.

The Elektra can be interesting to have in a collection, but has several drawbacks as a user camera.
