Black-and-white analog images with the LOMO Smena 35, a lightweight, fully manual 35mm zone-focus viewfinder camera with a sharp Triplet T-43 40mm f/4 lens, mechanical leaf shutter, and sleek plastic body produced by the LOMO factory in the Soviet Union.

One of the chicest and cutest of all compact 35mm film cameras is undoubtedly the all-plastic-bodied LOMO Smena 35, the latest model of the Smena viewfinder series produced by LOMO in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia.
The camera is an update of the popular Smena 8M.
During its production years from 1990 to 1993, the Smena 35 was produced in various colored plastic bodies with the front and back plates in black, white, red, yellow, titanium grey, and blue.
The front plate of the Smena 35 features a line in yellow, green, white, orange, or blue, emphasizing the 'Smena' logo across the top plate.
The camera lens faceplate is either white, black, or matches the body color. The 'Smena' alphabet is white, grey, or black, and the '35' numeric is based on the color of the feature line. The plastic tip of the leaf shutter lever and the hot shoe cover are normally red.

Internal components of the all-mechanical Smena 35 are basically similar to the Smena 8M, with the same plain tunnel viewfinder, multi-coated three-element Anastigmat T-43 lens with aperture settings from F4 to F16, and shutter speeds set from 1/15 to 1/250 second, as well as B.
