Características

The Zenit TTL is a 35mm film SLR camera made by KMZ and produced between 1977-85 with quantity of 1.632.212 units. It is also made by MMZ (BelOMO) and produced between 1980-82 with quantity of 1.000.000 units. It belongs to the long lasting Zenit series.

It was an upgraded version of the Zenit EM, adding stop-down TTL metering and a rewind crank in place of the knob. The meter is not voltage sensitive and will work fine with a 1.5 volt alkaline battery.

The viewfinder is blue-tinted and comparatively dim and small (cf. the 'brilliant'-type Zenit E). The central portion of the viewfinder screen has a micro prism in the middle surrounded by a clear matte area.

The camera was also sold by Cambridge Camera Exchange in the U.S. under the label Cambron TTL.

Modelo

A minha é uma PM4725 (ver Sovietcams): The most common version of Zenit-TTL camera. The new style of selftimer lever. Shutter advance, shutter speeds and film rewind heads are new style already. 4 screws in a lensmount already. An earliest so far known camera has s/n #78079809 (Molotok 2008). Some cameras have soviet "Sign of Quality" on an accessory shoe.

A minha tem o n.º de série 80204573, o que parece indicar que foi fabricada em 1980 pela KMZ.
