Zenit-C

Developed in the USSR by the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Plant (KMZ), the Zenit C or Zenit-C was sold from 1955 to 1961. Some consider it to be one of the best Soviet cameras ever made due to its overall build quality and features offered. The Zenit C is a mechanical SLR that looks like a rangefinder thanks to its slim profile and other physical traits attributed to Leica copies of its time. It is not much bigger than the Zorki C, a rangefinder camera that shares the DNA of earlier Leica cameras (specifically, the Leica II). The Zenit C is a bottom loader which means the film has to be loaded into the chamber by removing the base of the camera. Future users of this camera will greatly benefit from research on how to properly load it without messing up the spooling system. It also has a variety of knobs on the top plate that controls various settings.
