 oniko's recommendation | |
a good solid camera with a fairly good standard lens. its cheap but not too nasty,all the shutter speeds most people will ever use.
a dim viewfinder and a lack of higher iso ratings than 400iso. also the typical solid brick feel of a zenite.
The Zenit 122 is a good camera for some one to start with. they are usually well made and have a good 50mm lens with them.
there are many pentax type screw lenses out there at give away prices.
for a very cheap price you get a case, instruction book in quaint english and a great manual camera.
the 1/30 to 1/500 shutter speed is fine for most things. and the only thing i find a pain is that you have to use a separate meter if you wish in my case to push black and white film to 1600iso for concerts and weddings.
if you bounce your zenite, just pick it up and keep snapping. other brands have a tendacy of being picked up only to be thrown further away.
