The Zenit 4 is a 35 mm SLR camera made by KMZ from 1964 to '68.[1] It began a short series of Zenit cameras with bayonet-fitting lenses and leaf shutters. The bayonet fitting is similar to that of the Voigtländer Bessamatic.[2] The shutter is in the body, behind the lens. It has speeds 1 - 1/500 second, plus 'B';[2] the shutter speed and aperture controls are linked, giving easy changing between exposure combinations of equal Exposure Value. The standard lens is a Vega-3 50 mm f/2.8, as shown here, or a Helios-65 50 mm f/2.[2] The camera has a coupled selenium meter, with match-needle readings visible in the viewfinder. The prism finder is exchangeable with a waist-level finder. The camera and lenses may be seen engraved in Latin or Cyrillic letters.
