My Dad gave me this on sunday. He told me his brother gave it to him just before I was born (22-23 years ago) Its all in working order etc. After a bit of research on the net, it was built in 1971 and a very good piece of equipment in its day!

1. Leather box


2. Everything out ('scuse the mess!)


3. I havent a clue what this is, its hollow with threads at one end


4. KoKin filter holder


5. Light meter


6. Light meter


7. Flash


8. 200mm lense and leather case


9. Camera Front


10. Cameara Rear


11. Leather Camera case


12. Warranty card?


13. Info leaflet


Ive even got some film for it so im going to have a crack at using it while my 400D is being repaired

The Zenit's were good camera's - most kids around the 70's we're handed one down at one point before getting Pentax ME's or K1000's which we're my first cameras.

My fave from the past is either my Mamiya 645 1000s (which I have a pair of) or the all time classic - Olympus trip - solar powered and razor sharp.

Fair play tiger thats and impressive collection of cameras you have owned. I was going to take it out with me for a walk today but it weighs a ton and didnt fancy hiking up a mountain with it in tow (unfit i know )
