Summary

[edit]
Description

The venerable Zenit-E. This particular model is a late 1971 model, produced before many cost-cutting moves were made, such as using un-painted etched serial numbers and plastic shutter-speed dials.

The Zenit range started out as an old Soviet copy of an older Leica, but by the early '70s the Zenit-E had become a true People's Camera. With innovate (cough) features like a cloth mechanical shutter (flash sync at 1/30th!) and a reflex mirror hinge made out of genuine leather, it's a miracle this camera even works.

But it does! And I use it. See some of my pics from this camera in my photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/aperture_lag/tags/zenite/
