Zenit 10 (Зенит 10), vintage Soviet SLR camera
35 mm, M42 mount, s/n 820_20706
"KMZ" plant, Krasnogorsk, USSR
Very good condition. Self-timer, exposure meter and shutter work fully properly. Body has strong signs of age and use. Lens is not included, body only.
"Zenit-10" was produced since 1981 till 1982 by Krasnogorsky Mechanical Plant named after Zverev (KMZ), Krasnogorsk, USSR. Totally only 19 865 pieces were made.
It is a hybrid camera, based on "Zenit-12" (export version of "Zenit TTL") which gave shutter and shutter speed barrel that does not rotate when taking photo and "Zenit E" which donated built-in non-conjugated exposure meter.
It was replaced by "Zenit-11" which got a mechanism for work with jumping aperture.
"Zenit-10" has cast aluminium body with rear cover opening on hinges. Lock for rear cover is hidden.
Shutter cock and rewind are made by lever, backwind - by a roulette.
Shutter is cloth, shutter speeds are: 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500 and B. 1/30 is the only possible shutter speed when using flash. Shutter speed barrel does not rotate (unlike "Zenit E").
Default lenses are "Helios 44-2"(2/58), "Industar-50-2"(3.5/50). Of course, all lenses with M42 mount fit this camera.
Focusing screen is Fresnel lens with dim ring and microraster.
ISO range 25-400 can be set at light meter. It is not conjugated - after defining the EV, photographer sets the meaning manually.
Camera has hot shoe, self-timer and tripod socket 1/4''. Tripod socket was moved in the center of the bottom to improve the balance.
