Zenit-E camera was a Russian (Soviet) SLR camera, made from 1965 to 1968. The body was equipped with M42 screw mount. The camera is solid, sturdy, everything is reduced to the essential and there is no space for fancy but expensive functions or accessories. Shutter speeds ranges between 1/30s and 1/500s plus a B time. A self timer is also present, with a delay of about 10-15 seconds. The camera was equipped with a selenium-cell lightmeter, which provided a quite accurate reading and was easy to use, basing the choice for aperture and speed on the calculator, placed on the left side of the top of the body. The lightmeter itself is placed above the lens mount. The M42 mount offers the chance to use a very wide range of very valid lenses. The classic lens is the very good Helios-44 58mm f/2, which requires a little time to be fully mastered but that gives you wonderful pics. The camera is very good, heavy and tough, as you are allowed to expect from a Soviet one. I do really like it and I suggest everyone wanting to learn and practice the theory of photography to get one of these "full manual" cameras. Considering the age of the camera, it's in a really wonderful condition.Read full review

Solid build quality and a lovely helios lens. Small line in viewfinder but a pleasure to shoot with for a retromaniac like me!
