Smena-7 is a scale model Soviet camera produced by the LOMO association from 1961 to 1971. A total of 1,992,546 units were manufactured.
The Smena-7 differs from the previous Smena 6 model in that it lacks a self-timer feature. Although a prototype of the 7th model with a built-in light meter was developed, it was never mass-produced.
