Now that's a weird piece of kit!...It'll never get off the ground!.

I don't know what's wierd about it. It's just another document copying camera. Hundreds got off the ground and flew well - around most large libraries.

Moldova, eh? 🙂 Everytime I see that little country, I can't help but remember this very fun book (amazon.com) that I read 😀

These are not that rare, they appear regularly at camera fairs here, also a chinese made copy. They are in Princelles guide to SU cameras and were still being made in 1985. The KGB possibly did use them, but so did colleges and schools etc.

Heres a picture of a rarer version of the same camera with out the stand and lights. the lens on it is the same as the one on the little half frame Tschaika 2 🙂
