The Russian Zenit EM 35mm SLR was part of a long running series of Zenit cameras and was an upgraded version of the Zenit E, adding automatic diaphragm stop-down with appropriate M42 lenses and a shutter release separated from the winding lever/film counter. Produced between 1972-1984 by KMZ[1].
The EM was also sold by Kalimar as the SR300, and badged as the Cosmorex SE. It was available in both black and chrome finish. It was also sold as the Revueflex EM by Foto-Quelle.
