Zenit 12 SD: An Awkward but Likeable Customer
written by alex34 on 2012-02-20 #gearThe Zenit 12 SD represents one of the last 'unbreakable' Zenit cameras, built like a tank. Unfortunately, it has a tendency to handle like one too, but once you master it the combination of reliability and excellent optics (58mm Helios lens) become persuasive.

Zenit TTL - The Teddy Bear Tank
2009-07-30 #gearThis is my go-to camera when I need an extra bit of control. This SLR is heavy as a brick, clunky, and oddly comforting to hold. A bit of a tank. On the outside it looks much like it's older Zenit siblings, but it's the inside that counts.

Zenit 122
2008-10-04 #gearDuring my first year of Lomographic Studies, I only had a Fisheye Camera and Colorsplash Camera in my arsenal. I was literally craving for an LC-A so I decided to have a father-and-son talk with my dad about the legendary camera, hoping he might be impressed enough to buy me one. My plan backfired as he told me he already has a Soviet product in his collection, being a camera enthusiast himself.
