Actually, I really hate you now Razz I was trying hard to forget the Zenit-3M Revolution Anniversary, but you brought it back to my attention Rolling Eyes It looks so cute Crying or Very sad



When my pay check comes in, I'll place an order in the US. If it slips through customs, I'll go for it... 80 euro seems to be a regularly paid price for this item. Time to go to church Smile

It is cute, for sure ! What kind of lens is it ? (seems it will take you some time to clean it and make it shine ...).

I bought mine from someone in Antwerp (I had to remember my "beschaafd nederland" to finalise the deal Wink). It is working fine but I suspect the seller always used it at f3.5 'cause the aperture ring was stuck wide open.

I too have such camera with objective Industar-61LZ which is better than Industar-50, IMHO.

Yes, I tried I-50 and I-61LZ. At the second apertura 2,8 against 3,5 at the first, that is actual for dark view-finder Zenit, contrast and clearness also is more at I-61LZ and it is more convenient for using.

I've not yet tested the Zenit 3m ... the viewfinder is quite dark and grainy, not very inviting .

But I tried the Industar on my DSLR (had to wait about 2 months for the m39-m42 adapter to be delivered).

Nice lens, but I need to make a hood for it, I think.

Problem is, I'm buying to much stuff and I don't have enough time to test them all. Right now, I have 20 rangefinders and 13 slrs ...

Waiting for my retirement, still 24 years to go.
