In 1962 Smena producer GOMZ became LOOMP („Leningradskoje objedinenije optiko-mehanicheskich predprijatij“). Need to mention, that LOOMP name as rule wasn‘ t used for camera markings and such cameras with LOOMP markings are quite rare. Only in 1965 Smena producer received permanent and very well-known name „LOMO“ (Leningradskoje optiko-mechanicheskoje objedinenije).
Smena-5 camera designed to use thermoplastic instead of bakelite. Lens T-42 with GOMZ logo, serial number under shutter housing. Strap lugs on body. Sunshade reverses on lens to provide protection. Very seldom to meet camera.
