i just spent $20 on this old russian half frame:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170746149064?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
it seems to take m39 lenses, but does not seem to be a rangefinder! seems to be DOF focusing. anybody know anything about this baby? can i usebany m39? or is it like the zenits and you can only use non rangefinder m39 lenses? i have both kind, so its no issue, just want to know what will work...
thanks
tony

Yes, quiet popular locally as collector camera, I did never interest much about half frame cameras, I did try two of them , Robot and Olympus Pen-D , both were disappointing. (IQ)

I haven`t use the camera , but from what I`ve heard it`s becoming a very nice collectors piece . It`s quite hard to find one with a working selenium meter, but if your does, it would be very interesting to see how accurate it is  . The lens is indeed detachable, but I don`t think that you can use other M39 on the camera.
Still , you`ve got yourself a very nice piece, have a good time shooting it  |

As Attila said, the IQ is an issue with these cameras. You probably have to use the camera in portrait position to take landscape shots.
Some info here about them: http://www.lomography.com/magazine/reviews/2010/09/05/chaika-3-half-frame-for-the-space-age
The lens was removable to use in an enlarger. It's not the same register distance as RF lenses.
