Good Points

Let you feel YOUR professionalism with no computer assistance, Offered with a magnificent Helios Lens (Russia is well known in optics), Offers a senstive TTL meter, Rigid metal body, Flash Sync cable, Hot Shoe, Socket for Shutter release cable, instant return mirror.

Bad Points

If you need assistance you will NOT find any except the TTL meter. No AF, no options for light metering like spot, partial and matrix, the shutter speed is really slow with a maximum of 1/500 and can be also regarded as very fast with a minimum of 1/15 (but you have a Bulb setting). Iso setting is at a maximum of 400 only.

General Comments

This Zenit 122 35mm SLR Camera is a MUST HAVE for anyone wanting to start photography and wanting to have FULL creativity. If the photo is bad it is of you, and if the photo is PERFECT it is also of YOU alone.
Cheap can accept any accessories, lenses, filters, flash syncs, hot shoe flashes, shutter cables, tripod and anything your imagination needs.
A (REALLY) tough camera that withstands shocks and weather.
BUT it lacks any intelligent meters to assist you and other things listed above.
