Description :

The Zenit TTL has a reputation that goes beyond its modest origins. Built at the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Plant outside Moscow from 1977, it was one of the first Soviet SLRs to feature proper through-the-lens metering, a significant step forward from the older Zenit E. The all-metal body is famously solid and dense, built with the kind of no-nonsense construction that makes these cameras difficult to kill. The fully mechanical shutter needs no battery to fire, and the M42 screw mount gives access to one of the widest and most affordable lens libraries in all of film photography. The 58mm f/2 Helios-44M paired here is one of the most celebrated Soviet lenses ever made, known for its distinctive swirling bokeh at wider apertures and a warmth and character that has earned it a devoted following among film and digital photographers alike. A genuinely special combination at a very accessible price.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can't guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn't an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light-meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
