thank you so much for the video! i have my dad’s smena that i have been shooting for several years now and it never disappointed me ❤ great for double exposure photos too!
When I removed the lens, the part that fits into the hole.came off like a screw, now I can't fix it.

Same, now i have to repair it. Pretty inconsiderate of him to put it in a video like that.
I like the position of the viewfinder on this, on the left hand side, so the left eye can still have a clear view ahead. On the cosmic symbol it's more to the centre.
My parents had an Olympus Trip 35 that I used a LOT... I took many pictures with it. During travels and even of places I wanted to paint. It was great! Then I bought a digital camera and never used it again. Then someone stole it... But me and my father found an used one and bought it again. It should be somewhere here at home. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family, Pawel! 🖖😊
I love some of the russian cameras, I haven't tried a Sema but i have a Lomo LCA and the newer Lomo LC-Wide. They make great street cameras easy to use and quick to shoot
I'd got this one and Elikon 35С during my ussr childhood. Good and cheap devices for monochromic photos. But world changed and now they are good exponates for museum. Almost all people who after their 40's and who was involved in photo got device like a this one as a memorabilia... It was our sweet childhood and dumn it it was good even for that 80's and 90's and even withour quadcopters and other digital things... Because we were young...
White balance? This is what came to my mind when I saw the ring for icons of weather conditions on it.

Maybe in cargo pants :)
The lens is not "detachable" except if you are doing disassembly. If your lens unscrews like that, it means your camera is broken. There's supposed to be a set screw that prevents the lens from being unscrewed lol
