The Zenit 16 is a 35mm SLR camera made by KMZ from 1974-76.[1] It represents a number of 'firsts' for KMZ:

  • the first KMZ camera with electronic exposure control
  • the first with TTL metering, and meter information (two lamps) in the viewfinder
  • the first with an all-plastic body

The Zenit 16 was preceded by the Zenit 15 and Zenit 15M (or 'Zenit 15 Semi-Automat'), development models, neither of which was produced for sale. The Zenit 15 is a similar camera but does not have a meter. The 15M is the model on which TTL metering was introduced.
