To be exact, Yugoslavia (Efke), Czechoslovakia (Foma), East Germany (Orwo) and
Hungary (Forte) belonged to the Eastern Block, but of course were not part of
the Soviet Union.
The FSU label better fits Slavich papers and equipment like Lomo, Kiev, Fed,
Zorki etc.

Lucky also gets rebranded.
To add to the mess Lomography will change what's really in the
box - you get the lowest bidder - one month it's Fomapan, the
next Lucky.

Nicholas,
For those of us in the peanut gallery, what's FSU?
It's hard for the layman to sort out all the labels which
never state the source factory or whether the product
is a simple re-branding, e.g. I've got a roll of 120 Holga
400.

Calling oneself 'hip' is sure sign one isn't.
My advice is to stay away. Freestyle and Ultrafine carry the
same
products at reasonable prices. For poorly performing cameras
there is no
shortage of same on ebay and at the local thrift shop.
