Soviet Space Cameras Up for Auction

Hat Tip: Amateur Photographer

Special Auction Services has a Camera and Photographic Equipment Auction scheduled for April 30.

The company is located in the UK.  Keep that in mind if you see something you want to bid on.  It's fine if you live in Great Britain or plan to visit at that time.  You'll need to factor shipping arrangements and currency conversion rates into the equation if bidding from another country.  The company accepts absentee bids and telephone bids if arranges in advance.

Internet bidding is available at the-saleroom.com.

An online catalog can be viewed on the SAS website, (click on the page number in right hand column to see lots and photos) or on the-saleroom.com site.

Lot 175 is A GOMZ Leningrad Space Model II Camera , expected to fetch 15,000-20,000 pounds.

Lot 176 is A Prototype Russian Lunar Surface Camera, expected to fetch 8,000-12,000 pounds.
