The Zenit 122K: My Lovely Russian Baby
10 20 Share TweetThere are three types of the Zenit 122K Russian camera. My review is about the Zenit 122K model.
This is my lovely Zenit 122K. It is a Russian SLR cam. After I bought my Diana F+ I was so addicted to analogue photography that I was looking for a new film camera. I didn’t want to spend too much money so I looked through all the cams they had in the Lomo Shop, and there I found this lovely cam named the Zenit 122K. The price for this wonderful SLR cam is very low, if you look at the beautiful pictures which you can get with this cam, you will never be sorry of it. This cam was build in the 80s in the Soviet Union.
This cam is not to be used like an Actionsampler or to do the legendary Hip-Shot. No, this cam requires you a lot of patience. With some patience, you should get some wonderful pictures. The Zenit also works well if you like to do macro shots like flowers or insects. The Zenit has an automatic Light meter which helps you to find the right ISO to get the best results. Here are my shots with the camera:
