Lomo-130AL, -130A


At least 2 versions of the budget Sokol were prepared by LOMO in 1973-1974. Lomo-130AL was never produced in series, while small quantity of Lomo-130A was for sale on the domestic market. These cameras have only one light meter cell and, in a clear effort to cut the most dramatic costs, lacked the strap lugs.

PK5952. One more sample from the very 1st batch of Lomo-130A cameras. Camera identical to PK5950, but with changed design of the nameplate.  The camera #7305020 opposite is unique, since beeing photographed for the LOMO-130A manual guide (see manual's scan below). An ultra rare to find nowadays.
