Lomo Cosmic 35 Film Camera
This is part of a large private collection which we have just required unfortunately we have been unable to fully test every camera with a film most of these cameras have not been used in the last 25 years so are been sold as untested and as such no warranty or returns hence price.  
The Cosmic 35 made of that almost-Bakerlite hard plastic with a fairly middle of the road 40mm 3 element Anastigmat lens. Apertures of f/4 to f/16 and shutter speeds of 1/15 sec to 1/250 sec plus bulb that are set on a dial around the lens. Focusing is of course by guesstimation with a range sale on the lens barrel.
This is a 35 mm viewfinder camera from the Soviet Union. It  is not quite a point-and-shoot but not far off. There are the usual settings of shutter speed, aperture and distance, but no light meter or rangefinder.

 

 

The camera measures 115 x 80 x 35 mm (just the body) or x 55 mm (including the lens).

 

 

The top plate is a firm grey plastic with a leatherette pattern embossed on the top surface. On the right is the film advance. This is a wheel which slightly protrudes from the edges of the top plate. This is a simple mechanism directly attached to the take-up spool inside. There is no ratchet or clutch here.

 

In the middle of the top plate is a combined frame counter and film reminder. The frame counter counts up from zero to 38 and needs to be set to zero by hand after loading a new cassette of film. The film reminder has no function apart from being a mnemonic. The options are film speeds in DIN and ASA from 15 DIN (25 ASA) to 24 DIN (200 ASA).
Please take a good look at the images as this is part of the description
Seems to work but not checked with a film Hence Price
