Vileyka, BelOMO, 1994 ZENIT-15m CAMERA's BODY with M42 LENS MOUNT ABOUT ITEM'S ORIGIN (You can SKIP it!) ZENIT-15m have more advanced TTL light metering and indication than very popular ZENIT-TTL camera, produced at Vileyka before under the name of ZENIT-15. Very uncommon and rare kind of ZENIT cameras with 6V power source. ITEM'S CONDITION: AS-IS The camera is clean and attractive, it just looks that the camera was very accurately used before. Shutter works fine, self-timer also works. Tested with the battery, TTL metering shows only left LED. It was the reason to place AS-IS condition in common. Viewfinder is clean. All functions are available except light metering. TECHNICAL FEATURES * Frame size: 24x36mm * Film type: usual 135 type film cassettes are applicable. * Curtain shutter (Leica type). * Shutter speeds - B, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500 sec. The shutter allows receiving long shutter speed known as "T", just press the shutter release button at installed "B" and then turn the shutter release button to index "T" direction. * Synchronization with flash at 1/30 sec. * Flash connection: usual PC socket and "hot shoe". 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 Practica, Pentax, Yashica, Cosina and other cameras with optical registration 45.5mm. * Built-in TTL exposure meter in working condition, it is based at semiconductor scheme with 3-LED indication.

TTL light metering works with any kind of M42 lenses and with different macro devices. * Voltage of power source - 5-6 V. Original power source is the battery 4RZ53 (mercury-zinc cells, dangerous for environment). Also 4RZ53 battery can be replaced by 4 modern G13 or LR44 type cells with special battery insert. Discrete cells can be applied with battery insert only to avoid a short circuit through metal parts inside the battery compartment. * Film speeds are from 16 up to 500 ASA. * Self-timer is presented. * Frame around the eyepiece allows to mount correction lenses or eye cups, but the shape is other than at KMZ Zenits. * The body has very useful straplet attachment points. * Tripod mount 1/4 inch. * The camera was produced in USSR (Belarus) at BelOMO plant at the town of Vileyka in 1994.
