BELOMO

BELOMO or Belarus Optiko Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie (Belarus Optical & Mechanical Enterprise) was founded in Minsk in 1957 in what was the Soviet Union, now Belarus. It was originally named the Minsk Mechanichesckiy Zavod S.I. Vavilov (Minsk Mechanical Works S.I. Vavilov). In 1971 it became known as BELOMO.

At first, BELOMO made photographic equipment and lens-making machinery for state use. It now manufactures military and consumer optical products. During the 1980s it produced the now-discontinued AGAT 18 and 18K half-frame 35mm cameras, still popular among lomographic photographers.

A joint venture with German optics maker Zeiss was begun in 1995. The firm produces lenses and optical elements for microscopes and other optical equipment with ISO 9001 certification.
