Belomo Agat 18K – Custom Painted Half-Frame 35mm Film Camera

The Belomo Agat 18K is a compact Soviet half-frame 35mm film camera, appreciated for its lightweight design and creative shooting experience. This particular camera has been transformed with a custom-painted Japanese dragon design, wrapping the camera in intricate artwork inspired by traditional Japanese motifs. The detailed illustration turns this classic analog camera into a unique blend of vintage photography and hand-crafted art.

The camera was carefully prepared before painting using epoxy primer, followed by durable spray paint and detailed acrylic work. It is finished with a protective varnish to help preserve the artwork and provide a long-lasting finish.

The camera is in working condition and operates as intended. Please note that the frame counter is not functioning. The mechanism itself is present, but the internal spring requires adjustment for the frame counter to work correctly. This does not affect the camera's ability to take photographs.

As this camera features a custom-painted finish, it is not the original factory coating. While sealed for durability, it should still be handled with care. Avoid contact with sharp or metal objects, and prevent rubbing against zippers, buttons, or rough surfaces to preserve the artwork.
