What are the differences between the different Lomo LC-A models?

The basic camera appears to be the same, whether it was made before the 1990s or if it is a new Lomographic Society model.

The Lomo LC-A models from the early 1980s have Russian lettering and film measurements in GOST. (Instead of the film speed setting being in ISO/ASA “25/64/100/200”, it reads “16/32/65/130/250”) The new models have the Lomo boy printed on the viewfinder cover.

Some of the models have frame lines and distance icons in the viewfinder. Some only have the frame lines or neither. All Lomo LC-As have two LEDs in the viewfinder.
