Konica C35 AF and BeLomo Elikon Autofocus

There is a rumor... OK, no official data. But let's face the truth: a lot of Soviet cameras were developed based on foreign models. Japanese, German... FED is a copy of Leica II. LC-A inspired by the Cosina CX-2. Zorki-10 is a clone of Ricoh Auto 35V. Lubitel-166 is successor of Lubitel-2, which was a converted Voigtländer Brilliant.

This collage is just a joke! :D But you know, there is a little joke behind every joke )))))

    @txr53: That's sad. How does it look? I mean: photos out of focus, or something else?
    Anyway it's not a big problem to find very well-made autofocusing retro cameras. Many of them, I believe, could be much, much better then Elikon.
    Konica C35AF for example :) Canon Sure Shot (aka AF35M, aka Autoboy), Yashica Electro 35 AF, Olympus Trip AF, CHINON 35 F-MA.

    Yeah, I know. I think the problem is the curtains do not open when shooting. The flash does not work well, but that is less important. Greetings.
