Gomz Leningrad
The Gomz Leningrad is a Soviet 35mm rangefinder camera produced in Leningrad and introduced in the latter half of the 1950s. It is distinguished from its contemporaries by an integral spring-driven motor that advances film without a conventional wind lever, which positioned it as a technically ambitious model when new.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Leningrad have sat in a £38–£130 band, with a median around £125 across the last few years. As of 2026, what a Leningrad sells for is driven mainly by whether the clockwork wind still runs to tension and whether the rangefinder is accurate; a single 2005 saleroom result of £275 shows the model has historically reached higher, but that price level has not been repeated in recent years.
