Lomo Smena 8M, a Soviet-era camera

As someone who loves multiple exposures in photography, but who isn't necessarily good at them, when I discovered the Lomo Smena 8M I decided, perhaps irrationally, that I had to buy it. It already had 2 things I love going for it. 1, it shot multiple exposures on film, and 2, it's vintage. 

While I might not be any kind of expert at shooting multiple exposures, I enjoy taking them. Sometimes you get happy accidents, and I enjoy experimenting with different ideas, even if they don't work out. 

In late 2019 I moved house and the film had been in limbo for 4 years, until last week, when I accidentally stumbled upon it while looking for something else. Naturally I had to go get the roll developed. 

The results of that roll are a pretty mixed bag. Some turned out beautifully sharp, and the others definitely look more artisticly blurry. Overall I'm pretty happy, and will definitely be taking the Smena 8M out again.
