Two of my favourite cameras
Zenit 3 (1961) with Helios 44 (1961)
#1
Zenit 3M (1966). Only had it a few weeks. Cost me £9! It's immaculate. Carefully cleaned the exterior with auto scratch remover, the camera hasn't a scratch on it but this remover shifts dirt superbly. ( Had previously tried this remover on an old, badly pitted and weathered camera).

Very nice cameras. Both variations are very collectable. Nice find and superb job cleaning them . I also love early model Zenit cameras mainly for 2 reasons:
1. They are nice and compact.
2. I love the way the mirror system works - when ever you wind the film you also drag a small rope attached to the mirror which pulls it down. This is totally unique and I do not think that there are other cameras that have this system. _________________ I have many great Russian cameras and lenses for sale on my ebay account, please check it out: http://www.ebay.com/sch/piksius/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3686

I have these 2 cameras, but unfortunately, my 3M has a problem with the film wind, so it's just an ornament these days. _________________ Casual attendance these days |
