Description
SLR camera made of black plastic.

Curtain shutter allowing from 1/30th to 1/500th of a sec, and Bulb.
Manual exposure.
Two CdS cells are located inside the prism, allowing TTL measure when the shutter is partially depressed.
The lens mount has a cam allowing automatic aperture control.
The viewfinder has a stigmometer and microprisms to help focusing.

Despite the modern looks, the shutter mechanism is the same as in older Zenit cameras. A curiously implemented self timer (using a knob on the side) and LEDs for exposure indication are the only functional changes.

The serial number dates this camera from 1993.
Made in Russia, and not USSR anymore at this time.
