The Lomographic Society International Proudly Presents
THE ZENIT MF-1 SUBMINIATURE CAMERA
Microsite: shop.lomography.com/mf1
Shop: shop.lomography.com/go/?where=shop&pro=mf1
DATELINE: AUGUST 1950 (APPROX.)
Pay close attention comrades, as this transmission cannot be repeated. Our esteemed Zenit factory of Moscow has pioneered a revolutionary piece of photographic technology. The camera before your eyes (designated MF-1) will impart a critical advantage to our intrepid espionage agents.
Due to its subminiature 21mm film format (sliced from regular 35mm), the MF-1 is exceptionally small and concealable. The shutter fires in absolute silence. Its high-speed lens allows for strong performance in low-light. An ingenious spring-driven motor drive allows several shots to be taken in quick and clandestine succession. Given its size and power, the MF-1 item can be deployed in hand or within a variety of wearable and stationary objects. With this exceptional item, nothing will escape our eyes! |

Unlike the masses of "secret" mini-cameras, this precious item is the real deal. During its initial production, each piece was strictly controlled and assigned to a single intelligence operative. To this day, it is classified as protected military hardware and undergoes a stringent export protocol with the Russian Federation's Ministry of Defense. Through the breadth of our Russian contacts and the shocking beauty of our sourcing agents, we have been able to restart production and open this camera up for civilian purchase. This item, new and certified, has never been available outside of the Russian military before. Now is your chance to own a authentic and priceless piece of history. |

AVAILABLE NOW
After months of wrangling with the Russian Ministry of Defense, we have secured 3 units of the MF-1 Subminiature Camera for immediate shipment from our Vienna warehouse. They will be shipped on a first come, first served basis. This incredible item is exclusive to Lomography.com. Once these three pieces are sold, all additional units must be pre-ordered. The Zenit factory will only produce approx. 12 to 15 MF-1 cameras per year, so get in there quickly. Send a message to mf-1@lomography.com to join the queue.
CALL OF DUTY
As an MF-1 owner, you will be called upon to deploy your camera for a specific reconnaissance mission. This directive will come straight from our President, and will be issued immediately following your purchase. Once you receive your camera, you will be given a strict time frame to fulfill your photographic mission. Upon successful completion of the task, your images and profile will be posted on our MF-1 microsite for public review. Your name and likeness may be changed to protect the innocent! |
