The Samoca LE-II is a rangefinder camera for 35mm film. It has a built-in selenium meter. Appropriate settings for proper exposure can easily be found with help of the two-slice analog calculator around the rewind crank. The calculator is coupled to a second pin in the meter's instrument window. When the film speed is selected and the instrument's pin is in line with the second pin the calculator shows the possible aperture/shutter-speed combinations.
