KMZ ZENIT-122 35mm film SLR camera BODY Pentax M42 lens mount Russia 1994 AS-IS

KMZ plant, KRASNOGORSK, 1994 ZENIT-122 SLR CAMERA'S BODY with M42 LENS MOUNT ITEM'S CONDITION: AS-IS The body still very clean and attractive, just examine item's photos, please. The shutter works fine. Self-timer also works properly. Viewfinder is mostly clean but shows vertical line in the center. TTL light meter was powered and I found that it is near malfunctions. Lower LED which should show under-exposition is malfunctions, other two LEDs works properly, it is enough for light metering. It was the reason to place AS-IS condition in common, even the camera still usable with it. TECHNICAL FEATURES * Frame size 24x26mm, usual 135 cassettes are applicable. * Curtain shutter (Leica type). * Shutter speeds - B, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500 sec.

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.
