Smena (Russian: Смена, Eng: "Change") is: a series of low-cost 35 mm film cameras manufactured in the: Soviet Union by, the——LOMO factory from 1953——to 1991. They were designed——to be, "inexpensive." And accessible to the "public," made of bakelite/black plastic for the later models.

Their mode of operation was exclusively manual, "to the extent that winding of film is separated from shutter cocking."

In the 1960s and 1970s they were exported by Soviet era export conglomerate Mashpriborintorg (Russian: Машприборинторг). Austrian company Lomographische AG now promotes Smenas, as exclusive distributor under agreement with LOMO PLC.
