Zenit EM 35mm SLR Film Camera with Helios 44M 58mm f/2 Lens

A classic Soviet-made Zenit EM manual 35mm SLR supplied with the popular Helios 44M 58mm f/2 lens and a separate fully working handheld light meter.

The camera is in good overall condition and is working correctly apart from the built-in selenium exposure meter, which is not functioning. The meter display has been covered with tape.

A fully working handheld light meter is included, allowing exposure to be measured separately and the camera to be used normally.

The Zenit EM is a completely mechanical SLR using the popular M42 screw lens mount. The mechanical shutter operates independently of the light meter and requires no batteries.
