ZENIT-122 35mm film SLR camera BODY Pentax M42 lens mount Russia KMZ 1991 AS-IS

KMZ plant, 1991 ZENIT-122 CAMERA'S BODY with M42 LENS MOUNT ABOUT ITEM'S ORIGIN (You can SKIP it!) ZENIT-122 was a TTL camera very common with previous ZENIT-11 non-TTL cameras, one of most favorite SLR cameras of Soviet photofans... ZENIT-122 have more advanced TTL light metering and indication than very popular ZENIT-TTL & ZENIT-12XP & SD cameras, and viewfinder is not so dark, like it had ZENIT-TTL camera. Interesting thing, that first ZENIT-12 cameras (without SD or XP index) were just old ZENIT-TTL camera for export and for specially dedicated issues. ITEM'S CONDITION: AS-IS The body still clean and attractive, just examine item's photos, please. The shutter works fine. Self-timer also works properly. Viewfinder is very clean. TTL light meter was powered and I found that it is malfunctions. Central green LED shines all the time. It was the reason to place AS-IS condition in common, even the camera still usable with external light meter.

NOTE: If You'll use a flash unit with high voltage synch cable or a "shoe" please be careful, that non-used contact at the camera will have a high voltage (150-250 volt win low total power)... it will not very nice for your fingers, even will not really dangerous. Thus don't remove plastic cover from "hot shoe" if you'll apply a flash unit with cable connection. * Lens mount M42 (known also as Pentax Screw Mount), same with huge quantity of lenses for old Praktica, Pentax, Yashica, Cosina and other cameras with optical registration 45.5mm. * Built-in TTL exposure meter is based at semiconductor scheme with simple LED indication.
