[edit] Comments

Improved version of the Lomo Aurora Super. The version sold in the USSR most likely has got a "GOST"-scale instead of the "DIN"-scale for setting the film's sensitivity.
The camera has got an obscure feature: Closing the lens' iris will also close the exposure-meter's iris. In other words: The exposure-meter is coupled mechanically to the lens' iris while most other cameras would have an electrical "coupling" (potentiometer coupled to the lens' iris).
