My first camera was a 1958 Zenit c.
I was 14.
I still have it.
It still works.
Thanks for that awesome documentation. I picked one from eBay. It's Olympic-Games-Edition from 1979 with this tower style logo. The Lightmeter still works really well.
Very nice video, thank you a lot.
This was very nice introduction to my Zenit Olympics edition I just bought today. Thank you!
Great job man!!! You really did a great over view. Any and everything about the camera
Very detailed and easy to watch review, nice music. Like!
Thank you so much, great in depth review !
Thanks!!!
The best Zenit body I have ever used. Once good CLA is done, it becomes silent, reliable camera with soft shutter trigger. I gave mine splity ground glass from 122 + new prism - they serve perfectly.
Great video! Well done!👍
Great video, thank you very much.
I have just bought a Zenit E (Olympic Games Edition) looking forward to trying it out. Thank you for the great video explaining everything so clearly. I also have a Zenit 12XP which is one of my favourite cameras, they feel so robust and well made.
Very, very nice overview. I like the part of the history of the kmz plant. Please continue! I own some Russian cameras, for example kiev66, different zenit, lomo smena, fed2, etc...
I got my Zenit E in Georgia, I am looking forward to see how it handles and how the pictures are. Thanks for the detailed review and documentation.
Great video thank you

Fantastic video
Спасибо за видео. Этих зенитов е в СССР было выпушено около 10 миллионов штук. Намного больше чем самого массового фотоаппарата в мире - pentax k1000.
Отличное видео, мне понравилось)))
Есть конечно моменты которые не дополнил но в общем всё клево.
Спасибо.
I've seen a few early (m39s from 1967) Zenit Es with a silver shutter dial similar to that of the earlier cameras like the 3M. Do you know if the shutters of these cameras are vastly different internally or is it just an appearance difference?
I am very interested in your referral to the term "no light isolation" - light reflections inside the camera body. I have not heard this referred to before. An internet search revealed nothing.
Could you please explain it a little more. I am currently test-shooting a Zenit-E and although the seals look OK i have taped all the rear opening joins with TESA tape to ensure no problems that way.
I have a Kiev-4M which I have treated in exactly the same way and on some frames I get some strange light variations also some light entry onto the sprocket margin. It is not serious, just a quirky character of the camera. However your mention as above may be an explanation, I would love to hear your comment. Thank you for the review, greetings from New Zealand.
Wait can you change the shutter speed before cocking the shutter? And is it possible to fix the vertical line in the view finder
Yes, the shutter speed can be set paying no attention whether shutter is cocked or not. TH-cam does not allow to attach images to the comments, so I can't add the screen of the manual. It's written in the section "Shutter speed setting", Note 1.
Vertical line can be fixed, but it's a very complicated task. Almost half of the camera must be dismantled. I am afraid I can't explain the process in a comment. That line is only in the viewfinder, it will not be present at the film.
I wish the elegancy of the Zenit-S combined with automatic lenses.
Yes, old cameras are beautiful. I learnt that now people install electric engines in the bodies of old cars, electric engine in the car does not mean that the car must look like "Tesla" and have bio-design (or how do they name it?)
Probably, there will be a kit to put the internal of digital camera (including autofocus, TTL exposure meter and so on) into the body of old camera, for example "Zenit-C")))
@@russianphoto5869 I hope not. But chances are good that it will never happen. I cant think about anybody wanting a Zenit-S with digital inside.
Even my wish for automatic lenses will have disadvantages, as those lenses being bigger. Preset is the best compromise and not really much away from the confort of auto lenses.
Can it be you think I meant auto focus?
hello! do you happen to know what the screw size on the rear cover lock? my camera is missing a screw and it opens very very easily((
Normally, the screw has total 3 mm length, 1.2mm diameter of the trunk, 3.4mm diameter of the cap, 0.5 mm thickness of the cap and 5 coils of the carving.
Note that the screwbolts size was changed for several times during many years of production. I faced that the screws from one "Zenit E" sometimes do no not match the other "Zenit E" and can't say what screws are necessary for you specific camera.
@@russianphoto5869 большое спасибо)) I will try find some screws now
If you buy anything at my eBay store, I will send a couple of screwbolts from "Zenit E" for you.
