I found this on Meopta's website www.meopta.com/en/history-1404041995.htmlThe beautiful Czech woman is adopting one of those daft 'do something with a tool' poses that press/publicity photographers seem compelled to place their models in whenever they are around something mechanical. But I wonder if she was a model or one of the factory staff dolled up for the occasion.

Nope, her fingers are not manicured so she's probably a staff.

I have a Meopta enlarger, rifle scope and some Czech made Brno rifles from the 1950s and will say that they are as good as any similar product made in the west at that same period of time. At least for me they are. Thanks for the link.

I had a Meopta (Opemus forgotten the model number) enlarger. I passed it on to my nephew when he was doing his photographic course. I bought the colour drawer which took (?) 3" square filters. None of that fancy dialling in of the filter factor. A well made piece of equipment.
As regards the fingernails, would models in that area of the world have used nail varnish? I don't know, but it might be that the Eastern Bloc looked upon that as something only the decadent west did.
