Lot 0505 Details

Description
This camera was manufactured for the Soviet Lunar Space Program with MIR-1 2.8/37mm no.6707935. It is based on a heavily modified Leningrad with enforced clockwork motor drive and no viewfinder. All parts of the camera are made to the highest quality standards.
Shutter 1/140 and B., negative format 20 (24) x 36 mm, the design of the negative window is uncommon and obviously was shaped to accommodate a round object (the Moon). All armatures are sturdily built for use with hand-gloves. Mechanical and electric release (direct or remote). Connection to the on-board electrics by a special 19-pole plug. The diaphragm is operated by a substantial lever on the left side of the lens that has three positions: down (fully illuminated moon ï¾– f/11), level (half ways lit moon, f/5,6) and up (light at the moon terminator, f/2,8); schematic explanation on a plate on the hinged camera back. Behind the MIR-1 wide angle lens a special flap is mounted that only moves laterally while the release is pressed. It prevents a burn of the shutter fabric if the camera points towards the sun accidentally. only very few cameras are known to exist - first time ever offered in auction !
