The LOMO 7C-41 (Cyrillic: ЛОМО 7С-41) is an extremely rare, purely optical director's viewfinder that was manufactured in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s by the optics company LOMO in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). It was used by directors and cameramen on film sets to plan the image section and perspective without having to move the heavy cinema camera.
Today the 7C-41 is a sought-after vintage collector's item among cinephiles and lovers of analog film technology. Since it was produced in relatively small numbers (often for state film studios such as Tallinnfilm or Mosfilm), it rarely appears on the used market.
The LOMO 7c 41 USSR/Russian Director's Viewfinder Vintage 1977 7C-41 is a highly sought-after collectible item in the world of photography. This unique viewfinder offers a maximum aperture of f/2.

Made of brass and featuring manual focus, this Director's Viewfinder is a rare find for vintage camera enthusiasts and collectors alike. Its country of origin, Russian Federation, adds to its nostalgic charm and value.
