what is lomo?

LOMO or Leningradskoye Optiko-Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie (Leningrad Optical Mechanical Union) is an advanced optical manufacturer in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Founded in 1914 as the Russian Optical and Mechanical Company, it manufactured gun sights during World War I. It makes optical military, scientific and consumer products. It produced the first Russian camera in 1930.

The company became LOMO public in 1993 and is traded on the RTS Classic Stock Market.

The company is ISO 9001 certified and exports world-wide. Night-vision devices and telescopes account for 30% of the company's exports. Germany is the largest importer of LOMO products.

Its Maksutov telescope range is highly regarded by amateur astronomers

The word LOMO is often used to refer to the Lomo LC-A and other LOMO branded consumer cameras; while the cameras have a large following around the world, the cameras themselves are a minor product for LOMO PLC.

For more information about LOMO branded consumer cameras such as Zenith and Smena 8M, see lomography.

In 1990 - 1997 Ilya Klebanov was its Director.
