From the Online Photographer. I know my first thought was, they were
still /manufacturing/ cameras? The end of an era...
I think they were still manufacturing lenses, although the
Super-Rotator TS seems to have been out of production for some time.
Super Rotator is not an Arsenal product. Hartblei uses Arenal-made parts
to manufacture lenses.
Arsenal is a military factory, they're actually out from civilian photo
products manufacturing for years. Until now they have simply sold slowly
their stocks - parts, half-assembled cameras and lenses - but final
assembly was finished years ago. Some time ago I used to repair quite
many Kiev 6x6cm cameras and here (Tallinn, Estonia) was a ukrainian guy
, who visited the factory time-to-time and brought me needed parts.
