The Zenit 5 is the World's first 35 mm SLR camera with a built-in electric motor, made by KMZ between 1964 and '68.[1] It is very similar to the Zenit 4 and Zenit 6, with bayonet-fitting interchangeable lenses and leaf shutter behind the lens, giving speeds 1 - 1/500 second, plus 'B'.
In addition to the features of the Zenit 4, the camera has a built-in electric motor film advance, powered by 4 built-in rechargeable batteries. It also has a manual advance knob (so that working examples of the camera can still be used, though Nathan Dayton states that the battery and/or motor of many are unusable.[2] At least one fully working camera with a working electric motor and rechargeable batteries is known to be owned by a collector in England.
