[SOLD] LOMO BeLOMO Camera : Vilia Auto (SOLD!)

Today, we look at another LOMO - like camera called Vilia Auto / Vilia Avto. The factory, originally is called MMZ or Minsk Mechanical Factory/plant or Minskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod = MMZ. MMZ started out in 1957 as an optical glass producer. MMZ also produced cameras developed by GOMZ.



In another words, GOMZ OEM-ed its camera to MMZ. A bit on GOMZ - GOMZ is an acronym for Gosularstvennyi Optiko-Mekhanicheskii Zavod or in english, it simply means state Optical-Mechanical Factory. In the year 1965, GOMZ changed its name to the now, world-famous LOMO or Leningradskoe Optiko Mekhanichesko Obedinenie (Leningrad Optical-Mechanical Union).

In 1971, MMZ changed its name to BeLOMO or Belorussian Optical and Mechanical Association.


So in short, LOMO was known as GOMZ, which oem-ed their cameras to MMZ, which later on changed their name to BeLOMO.

Vilia Auto is a BeLOMO 35mm automatic camera. They are produced from the year 1973 until 1985 but there is suggestion that it was longer than that. It was until mid 90s!
