Start
A Start that lead to a dead end. This is a camera made to compete with Prakticas and Exaktas at the time. It might look like a Zenit, but is not one, far from it. It wheighs a ton, the chromes are bright and well machined. It has all slow speeds and even a top shutter speed of 1/1000th, something that the Zenit never had. The shutter button is located à la Praktica/Exakta way with a huge prong. The lens has a bayonet mount, not screwthread. The prism is interchangeable and the viewfinder image reasonably bright. A very welcome surprise to my limited knowledge of FSU cameras.
