General Leningrad 2 Information

Maker: Leningrad
Model: 2 (YU 11/2 - ÑŽ 11/2)
Circa: 1964
Cell type: Selenium
Measure type: reflecting/averaging; 2D incident with attachment

Quite a pretty meter, the big red dial and the white meter face look very attractive. Most meters, both foreign and domestic, were very drably colored well into the 60s, and the only used splashes of color on the label.

This was also made by the Vibrator factory in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg, Russia), but again I believe it was based heavily on an East German make that was part of Pentacon (the East German side of Zeiss/Ikon). The Russians liked to take an East German meter and make a few changes and brand it as Russian. The Germans did the R&D and the Russians manufactured it. Why duplicate the effort?

This meter was so popular it was also produced at another plant and sold under the Moscow brand. It's identical except for the nameplate in front, even down to the model number (ÑŽ 11/2). This was common practice in the USSR: if they felt like it (perhaps as make-work for an idle plant; perhaps as a way to increase production without increasing capacity at an existing factory), the Russians would take a popular camera and produce an identical version at another location, sometimes with the original badging, sometimes with new badging.

Looking after your camera

Use a Camera Bag

A camera bag does more than just protect the camera against scratches and dust: It keeps it safe from rain because many are waterproof on the outside.

Be Very Careful Around the LCD Screen and Camera Lens

Use only special equipment to clean your camera’s LCD screen and camera lens. Buy a special cleaning kit that includes liquid solutions, microfiber cloths and brushes that have been specially designed to clean your camera lens.

Never Leave Your Batteries in Your Camera for Too Long
Many camera batteries are now alkaline or lithium formats. If you keep your camera with the batteries inside of it in a moist area, then the batteries can get corrosive. So if you’re thinking about just putting your camera on the shelf for several months, do yourself a favor and remove them.

Turn Your Camera Off Prior to Doing Anything

Before you do anything to your camera, always keep in mind that it should be turned off first. No matter what it is—swapping lenses, changing memory cards or disconnecting or attaching cables—your camera should be turned off.

Cold and Wet Weather Can Wreak Havoc on Your Camera Body
Take your camera out only in a waterproof bag. If the weather’s unusually cold, just wrap your camera in a plastic bag that has silica desiccant packets for the reduction of moisture. It’s also a smart idea to have a soft towel with you to wipe off any moisture, just in case it should get on your camera.

Good Memory Card Care Is Good Camera Care

Only transport your memory cards inside of a protective caseMake sure the memory cards stay dust-free at all times. When removing memory cards, make sure you do so indoors or in non-dusty situations.
Make sure that you keep memory cards only in cool places. Never keep them in places where they may heat up, like dashboards or glove compartments.
Never place your memory cards close to magnetic sources. Examples of magnetic sources are things such as audio speakers, TV monitors and actual magnets.

Use a Filter to Protect Your Camera Lens

The lens of your camera is naturally fragile. As such, it’s susceptible to scratches, cracks, dents…you name it. A UV filter will not only will you give your lens a fighting chance, but you’ll also enhance the quality of your pictures.

Condensation Can Be Controlled

Condensation normally happens when you move your camera between different temperatures.
Allow your camera a chance to naturally get used to the hotter environment. Don’t place it inside a closed plastic bag when transporting it between different temperatures! Just let the camera sit in the humid temperature for a while, until condensation disappears.
If this still doesn’t get rid of all of it, you can utilize a soft cloth to wipe away any remaining moisture and marks left behind from the condensation.
