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

This is a rugged and fully mechanical Zenit EM 35mm SLR paired with the iconic Helios 44M 58mm f/2 lens. Soviet-built and built like a tank, these cameras are known for their heavy feel, basic but durable mechanics, and the swirly bokeh of the Helios lens.

Condition

This kit is in bargain condition :

• Dust present throughout — including on the mirror and focusing screen
• Some exterior wear and signs of age
• Despite all of that, it works fine — typical of Zenit build quality

If you know Zenits, you know they always feel like they’re about to break — but rarely do. This one is no exception: clunky but fully functional.

Included

• Zenit EM body (M42 screw mount)
• Helios 44M 58mm f/2 lens (manual focus, legendary bokeh)
• Rear lens cap

Features

• Manual exposure operation (no light meter)
• M42 universal screw mount – compatible with a wide range of lenses
• Mechanical shutter – no batteries required
• Legendary swirly bokeh from the Helios 44M

A perfect camera for collectors, modders, or anyone who wants to explore vintage Soviet gear on a budget.
