I'll upload a pic when I've got a free computer, but I just got a Smena 8M in what appears to be good condition with a nearly perfect LOMO case in the mail.

I was given one of those yesterday. Looks like fun but I doubt I'll ever use mine. It doesn't have a regular film spool, you feed the film into an empty cartridge and it basically works like 120 film where the spool (cartridge in this case) from the last roll becomes the take-up spool (cartridge) for the next roll. As film doesn't come in re-usable cartridges any more, I'm not sure how to deal with that. There's no rewinder on the camera either.

I could just take the film to Colonial Photo & Hobby and ask them to return the cartridge. They remove the film from its cartridge or spool in a darkbox and load it into a big light-tight cartridge that actually goes into the machine, so I can drop off the film and still walk out with the take-up cartridge.
