Description
Drug (pronounced as DROOG – A Friend in Russian) is one of the rare and exotic Soviet cameras. It is known for its Leicavit type film advance mechanism.
Quoting McKeown: “Rapid film advance level hinges down from bottom. It pulls in a straight line across the bottom to advance the film and tension the shutter, similar to earlier Leica & Canon cameras. Collimated viewfinder (projected frame lines). Interchangeable 39mm Leica-thread lenses”.
Some numbers: years or production: 1960-1962, a total of 23,702 cameras were produced by the KMZ (by J.L. Princelle) . This is the first Drug ever offered in the Fedka.com store.
The camera has many other unique features – the film cassette is loaded on the right side and the take-up spool is located on the left, the rewind knob is on the bottom, and the shutter release button is on the front of the camera, above the self-timer lever.
The Drug is very well made, the body is cast and rigid, the finish is much better than on other Soviet cameras of t
