Prod. "GOMZ" 1935-41
Sn. 13308 (inside film chamber: б 551)
Lens: I-10 (3,5/5cm)
Shutter: 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/200, 1/500, B

The Galveta, later the Sport, is a "monument" on more than one level. While surrounded by mystery for a long while, the Sport, in its mass produced version, was also concidered the Exakta's rival for the title of "World's first 35mm reflex camera." We now know that series production of the Sport occurred after Ihagee had begun. However, the camera illustrating the article in the January, 1935 issue of SOFO is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a prototype or pre-series camera. It is the Galveta. An elegant design appears on the lens cap. It seems to bear the name "Galveta". The general specifications are those of the future Sport, and without wanting to appear more Cartesian than I really am (this is a French specialty) the camera illustrating an article in the January, 1935 issue of magazine must date from 1934. (See Sov.Foto #7, October, 1934.) And if its development required as many months as its production, the camera was perhaps already under development in 1933 by Gelgar at VOOMP, in parallel with the Leica copies. Unusual in its shape as well as in the technical solutions employed derived probably from the MIN, the Galveta is among the most desirable cameras an iconomechanophile could hope for.
/.../
Galveta / Sport (1st version of Sport 1935)
(engraved Sport + GOMZ)
perhaps fewer than 300 units
35mm feflex camera 24x38mm or 24x36mm according to the model perforated 35mm cine film but in rolls with paper backing, with red window for frame counter of 50 images. One-way film transport from feed spool to take-up spool, with no possibility of rewinding.
Black lacquered metal camera body covered in black leather. The reflex housing element comprises a single block incorporating the waist level finder and focusing magnifier. Galilean viewfinder incorporated in this "finder block". Strap lugs are also located on its top plate.
The camera back comes completely off, like the Krauss Eka.
Shutter incorporating sliding metal plates. The first "curtain" is vertical, sliding up to hide behind the viewfinder, explaining its massive appearance. The second, lodged beneath the oversized (27x42mm) mirror, follows a vertical curve to join up with the other one. On the viewfinder block is also the horizontal knob serving for shutter speed setting, and combined shutter and film advance knob.
Lens: Industar-10 3.5/50mm mounted on a unique bayonet mount looking something like the Contax front style by Zeiss.
Lever operated focusing with an infinity catch.
/.../
Sport 1936-1941 (Mass-produced model of the Galveta.)
Total production: about 19.000 units.
In 1935, the inventor / engineers Rybnikov and Postnikov participate in developing the new version of the Galaveta-Sport.
The firs examples of this evolutionary model start around #320 and the highest number reported around #19.000. General technical characteristics are identical, but the injection-molded body is redesigned. The sport is rounder, and the shapes are more refined
The back is removed as on the Zeiss Ikon Contaflex.
The back opening key lug is also inspired by Zeiss.
Film transit is from feed to take-up cartige; these are especially designed for the Sport. Capacity of 35mm film is adequate for 50 view 24x36mm.
The front of the viewfinder gets the GOMZ logo in a small lens-like circle, on a yellow or orange background.
The viewfinder window is now surrounded by a decorative rectangular molding, in lieu of the strap lugs witch are now gone.
The upper housing is attached first by 6 screws, later only 2.
The optical system remains unchanged.
Despite the existence of a bayonet mount, no focal lengths other than the f:3.5/5cm lens are known.

(See Sov.Foto #7, October, 1934.) And if its development required as many months as its production, the camera was perhaps already under development in 1933 by Gelgar at VOOMP, in parallel with the Leica copies. Unusual in its shape as well as in the technical solutions employed derived probably from the MIN, the Galveta is among the most desirable cameras an iconomechanophile could hope for.
/.../
Galveta / Sport (1st version of Sport 1935)
(engraved Sport + GOMZ)
perhaps fewer than 300 units
35mm feflex camera 24x38mm or 24x36mm according to the model perforated 35mm cine film but in rolls with paper backing, with red window for frame counter of 50 images. One-way film transport from feed spool to take-up spool, with no possibility of rewinding.
Black lacquered metal camera body covered in black leather. The reflex housing element comprises a single block incorporating the waist level finder and focusing magnifier. Galilean viewfinder incorporated in this "finder block". Strap lugs are also located on its top plate.
The camera back comes completely off, like the Krauss Eka.
Shutter incorporating sliding metal plates. The first "curtain" is vertical, sliding up to hide behind the viewfinder, explaining its massive appearance. The second, lodged beneath the oversized (27x42mm) mirror, follows a vertical curve to join up with the other one. On the viewfinder block is also the horizontal knob serving for shutter speed setting, and combined shutter and film advance knob.
Lens: Industar-10 3.5/50mm mounted on a unique bayonet mount looking something like the Contax front style by Zeiss.
Lever operated focusing with an infinity catch.
/.../
Sport 1936-1941 (Mass-produced model of the Galveta.)
Total production: about 19.000 units.
In 1935, the inventor / engineers Rybnikov and Postnikov participate in developing the new version of the Galaveta-Sport.
The firs examples of this evolutionary model start around #320 and the highest number reported around #19.000. General technical characteristics are identical, but the injection-molded body is redesigned. The sport is rounder, and the shapes are more refined
The back is removed as on the Zeiss Ikon Contaflex.
The back opening key lug is also inspired by Zeiss.
Film transit is from feed to take-up cartige; these are especially designed for the Sport. Capacity of 35mm film is adequate for 50 view 24x36mm.
The front of the viewfinder gets the GOMZ logo in a small lens-like circle, on a yellow or orange background.
The viewfinder window is now surrounded by a decorative rectangular molding, in lieu of the strap lugs witch are now gone.
The upper housing is attached first by 6 screws, later only 2.
The optical system remains unchanged.
Despite the existence of a bayonet mount, no focal lengths other than the f:3.5/5cm lens are known.

The Galveta, later the Sport, is a "monument" on more than one level. While surrounded by mystery for a long while, the Sport, in its mass produced version, was also concidered the Exakta's rival for the title of "World's first 35mm reflex camera." We now know that series production of the Sport occurred after Ihagee had begun. However, the camera illustrating the article in the January, 1935 issue of SOFO is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a prototype or pre-series camera. It is the Galveta. An elegant design appears on the lens cap. It seems to bear the name "Galveta". The general specifications are those of the future Sport, and without wanting to appear more Cartesian than I really am (this is a French specialty) the camera illustrating an article in the January, 1935 issue of magazine must date from 1934. (See Sov.Foto #7, October, 1934.)
